TH K RACES.

Two or More contests to be had on
 the Track to-day, Weather Permit-
 ting.
 As good weather and track are requisite conditions for good trotting races, 1t is not safe to predict how much sport will be of- fered at Elm City park to-day. The Heu- binger brothers stated yesterday that, if pos sible they intended to call the wagon race and one or more running races this after. noon. There was no water standing on the track yesterday, although the course was muddy, but it will dry as quickly as any track and sooner than many others. It is not ex- pected that there will be any trotting for the purses offered by the proprietors of the park. consequently many of the owners and train- CTS nave taken their horses away to fill en- agreements elsewhere. Others horses which were at the park yesterday, are to be taken away this morning.
 The running horses are nearly all at the park yet and in readiness for racing. Sever. al owners of these Ayers stated yesterday that they were willing to start their horses under any condition of weather and track. horse Little Mickey, who is at the park, re. gently stated that the track is one of the best he ever saw, and, as 1t is not too hard, is we'll adapted to running races. Elm street in the vicinity of the park has just the kind of roadbed that he desires for giving his runners exercise, consequently he was au admirer of the park and it's surroundings. He intends to come here with horses if any running meeting is held at the park this fall. He said also that he was ready to stsri runner in a race to-day no matter what the nf k1ot mic ha Mr has made a match race with James Boden, owner of Harwood, for $100 a side, which, as stated, is to be decided at the track this afternoon,

A FINE NEW BANKING HOUSE.

The Hands0me Quarters Which the
 New Firm of Hill, Trowbridge & Go. Have opened on Church Street,
 Opposite the POstOmce.
 The handsome new banking house which Hill, Trowbridge & Go. have opened at Church and Center streets, nearly opposite the postofice, is an excellent improvement to that portion of the business center. It is main banking room is furnished with highly polished oak counters and bevelled panels, giving an appearance of neatness and solidi- ty. These are enlivened by brass railings interlaced with flat strips. At the rear of the main room is the private office of the firm. Still further back are rooms for sten- ographers, clerks and supply and stationery closets. There is ample desk room and off, oes for the purpose of the business. The counters and oak woodwork were made by D. H. Clark; the brass Iailings, screens, etc., by E. T. Smith; the antique oak furniture and desks by Chamberlain & Co.,; the safe by D. W. Thompson; the radiator and steam fittings by the New Haven Heat Supply company; the signs by Phillips & Son; the portieres and draperies by the New Haven Window Shade company; the electric lights and fixtures by the New Haven Electric company.
 The firm has ample experience in the banking business and does a general first class banking and brokerage business. They have established solid connections with large banking firms and trust companies in New York city, Boston, Philadelphia, Kansas City, St. Louis and other prominent business centers of the country. No doubt our citi- zens will find the house an admirable one with which to transact business and they are placing loans on Rilt-edged real estate, secur- ity of the most solid and substantial charac- ter. They deal in stocks and bonds for in- vestment purposes and are selling securities of trust companies and western syndicates, while fire insurance will also be feature of their business.

The Best Advertising.

The most efficient advertising in behalf of Hoods sarsaparilla is that which comes from the medicine itself. That is, those who are cured by 1t, speak to friends suffering simi- larly, who in turn derive benefit and urge others to try this successful medicine. Thus the circle of it's popularity is rapidly widsn- more are becoming enthusiastic in behalf of Hoods sarsaparilla as it actually demon strates it's absolute merit. All that Is asked for Hoods sarssparilla is that 1t be given . fair trial. If you need good blood purifier or building up medicine, try Hoods sarsa- parilla.

 To She Editor of the JOURNAL AND CouRikR:
 Of course there will be great many in re- gard to the disposition of the large bequests which the hospital has received from Mr. Marrets estate, and now from his daughter's. The frat has been anticipated and arranged for, but the latter seems to be unexpected, and may perhaps be open to friendly suggss- tions. It Is well known that @ separate ward for children is very much needed, and what more fitting than to use some of Mrs. Gif- ford's money to build wing for their spe- cial usei She was particularly interested in all helpless objects, and what more helpless than . sick childi During the war, when the hospital was taken by the government and used as c military hospital, 1t was named the "Knight Hospital" in honor of one whose best life work was done then and there. Let the ohildren's ward be named for It's generous donor and so keep her gift In perpetual remembrance.
 Also: Why cannot there be some place now for patients suffering from contagious diseasesi There is no place except the so- called pest house, which everyone dreads more than the plague itself. L..
