The entries for other purse races will not

| A trip to the grounds this week showed
the track clear of snow, and men have been
put to work on it and will continue until the
races preparing it in the best manner and
relieving it Of the only objection raised last
year before it was worked up-its hardness
and making it in all respects the finest track
in the West.
There are at present IS stables erected
Monday next work will begin on the remov-
al out to the brink of the hill of 500 feet of
the North fence and 40 additional stables will
be erected, with kitchens for those desiring
to "bach." This will enable still better
view Of the "home stretch" and it is proba-
BILE the grand stand will be moved back ten
feet and an additional 40 feet added to it, if
there is time. A pool room, kitchen and
other improvements will also be made at the
grand stand. The Water Company's main
has also been tapped opposite the grounds,
pipes laid up to and will extend the full
length of the stables and to the grand stand
and across the track, so that with good pres.
sure the track can be kept clear of dust for
several hundred feet in either direction.
This will be great benefit. and if considered
desirable the pipe can be laid around the
entire track, keeping it in just the right con
dltion however dry the weather. The water
will also be a protection to all the stables
and other buildings from fire.
In addition to the facilities of last year a
| three quarter track has been constructed for
training purposes inside the racing track
with same stretches, and with the accessor-
les of kitchens and water makes it one of the
best training stations on the circuit. Secre.
tary McMaster is giving all the improve
ments his special attention and his construc-
ton of the track and buildings last year is
assurance that all the projected improve
ments will be made in the same liberal and
