The number of flyers at the driving park is
daily increasing. There are now about forty

PAGERS started there. The former have the
track in the forenoon and the latter in the

done, and admirers of horsefesh can put in a
few hours very enioyably there almost any
fine day.
The most satisfactory proof of the excel
lence of the opening lecture of the Raglan
course was given in the sale of tickets yes
terday morning. Although the morning was
rainy and the next lecture does not take
place until next Wednesday evening, there
were over two hundred tickets for the course
sold yesterday forenoon, and the seats re-
served. Those who desire to secure a choice
of seats should therefore not delay in calling
at Bushnell's and marking them off. The la
dies of the Congregational church have done
well in securing so popular a series of enter
tainmcnts, and crowded houses each night
seem assured.
