NEW YORK, August 20.-Morris Park,
as it will be commonly called in contra
distinction with Jerome and Monmouth
Park racetracks, was regularly opened as
a rscecourse today. 1t is the property Of
John Morris, who has associated with
him in it's management the New York
Jockey Club. The grounds and track are
located in Westchester county, on the
Harlem branch of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, and are
partly within the city limits. The new
course has the finest buildings and ar
rangements for racing purposes in the
world. An idea of its completeness may
be gained from the fact that its sub.
drainage cost $250,0O0. Its grand stand
is the largest and most complete in the
world, and all its appurtenances are in
the highest degree the best results of
modern improvement. There are both
elliptical and straightaway tracks, and it
is believed they will be, when properly
settled and conditioned. the fastest in
