Great Preparations on the New
Linden Race Track---0ctO-
Der Prospects.

The Linden race track property is
nearly all fenced in, but no part OF the
work is as well advanced as at the DWyer
track. The pad dock shed is finished. the
foundation brick piers for the stand are
built, and much of the timber for the
stand is already framed out, with q large
gang of mechanics at work, as there is
also ON the material for what will proba-
bly, be a betting shed. A number OF
stables are being built opposite the three
quarter in-turn, with some almost COM
plete.
The work most behind is the track,
which is a much more difficult JOB IMAM
for the Dwyer track. The grading IS
heavy, with much to cut down and much
more to fill in. Two large gangs OF
laborers were at work yesterday, and IL IS
possible that all will be ready by the MD
die of October, for, with ample capital,
much may be lone in the three months.
Some weeks ago a programme OF Stakes
for the inaugural meeting and tof a sprlnS
meeting in April, 1890, was prepared and
put in type, but was not and has not as
yet been published. The reason. perhaps,
is that there is likely to be a clash OF dates
in which the Linden Blood Horse Assocla-
ton, the New Jersey Jockey. Cup, the
Passaic County Agricultural Association
(CllIUOn) anu Uu6 huuSOH SOuHNJ A0N0
Association (Guttenberg) will take part.
Each claim dates Immediately after the
closing of the season in New York. A.
meeting of the parties interested was
called at Long Branch last Saturday
night, but nothing was done. 1t has been
suggested that there be racing at Linden
and Elizabeth on alternate days, changing
each week from October 16. to include
Saturday, November 80, and in 1890 from
April is to May 81.

Distinction of Cars.

Manager Charles E. Pugh, of the Penn
s~ylvania Railroad, has perfected arrange
ments for thorough disinfection Of the
passenger coaches of the entire system.
The coaches must be thoroughly cleansed
and disinfected at least once a week, and
all rubbish, SO far as possible, is to be
burned. Where this cannot be accom-
plished q special disinfectant will be fur
nished by the company. Great caution is
advised in obtaining the supply of drink
fng water, and in places where the water
is suspected of being impure, instructions
are given to boil it.
IF at any time a case of infectious dis
ease is found at a station, in q passenger
coach or elsewhere on the company's
property a physician should be immedi-
ately summoned. The car should be re-
moved from the train as 500 as practical
Bile, the doors locked, and it should not
again be used until it has been fumiga-
ted"
