| There was no officia On the grand
circuit who took better care OF horse
men and treated them more literally
! Than President Daniel J. Campau, of
the Detroit Driving Club. He also at
tended carefully to little details, kept
the track in good shape, and cleanliness
prevailed about the stables and build

meeting and got the worth Of their
money. We think him pretty good
President.

cart. had a very narrow escape.

s.. A. Tanner was the successful
bidder for the lease Of Belmont Course

Belmont Driving Club membership is
growing rapidly. and now is the time
for those who have not subscribed to do
so. The spring is approaching and they
will want place to speed their horses.
1t should be good opportunity for
Mr.. Tanner to ''spread" himself as
landlord, and thereby fall into the good
graces of the many gentlemen sHbscrib-
era He can make the track and It's
surroundings look as though some one
was in charge. AS Mr.. Tanner has
lately taken unto himself wife for
better or worse he will have chance
to know, with his two enterprises,
whether marriage Is a failure or
success. So pitch in,' Tanner.
The Dryers have never let the
great year old stakes 60 BY default.
They are too valuable, as 3 year old

they bought Sir Dixon, he being the
only colt owned by parties who would
sell, Emperor Of Norfolk belonging to
| Mr.. Baldwin, and Raceland and Prince
