The big s20, 900 stallion race which W.
z. Balch proposes TO hold next summer, will
no doubt bring cut larger field of noted
stations than did the last one in September.
The rate of entrance money has been placed
at per cent, so that the horses which enter
in this race will pay he same amount of en-
trance money as befo-", though the purse is
twice as large. 1t is not decided yet as to
| where the race will be held, but it is very
doubtful if Beacon Park would be again Sc
lected If the race is held in the vicinity of
Boston, Mystic no doubt would be the track
selected The circular which Mr.. Balch has
sent out to hotsemen confines the situation
of the race to some tirst-class track in New
England, so that there is a possibility of its
| being trotted at Hartford.
