was 10 consider propositions Tor the

ton presented a written proposition,
while Mayor uhl and A. W. Mech
were on hand TO present the oller oi
the kent County Association. DR.. j.
B. Grtswold read proposition from
the West Michigan Association. The
Western MichAgan rendered them the
use of the grounds upon the following
conditions
The horsemen shall be responsible for
all damage To the track, buildings,
etc. They shall not hold a meeting
within two weeks OF the time of hold
Ing OF the West Michigan fair They
snail pay osAe-half OF the net receipto
TO the West Michigan Agricultural for
the use OF the grounds, etc. The mat
ter OF building the additional box
stalls will be settled at the meeting
OA t44S uA4 tStOAS
The horsemen promptly rejected the
abova proposition The proposition
FOR the use OF the south grounds was
then received. The Kent County Agri-
cultural offered their grounds, build
nigs, etc, free, the hor.emen paying
the insurance. The time OF lease
might be ten years or less. The
Agricultural Society will spend $500
IN improving the track, but the horse
men shall keep 1t in repair.
The horsemen were almost unani-
mously in favor OF accepting this pro-
position. The horsemen felt more
friendly C. this because they believed
most OF the money raised to improve
the Comstock site was gwen by horse
men; consequently they didn't feel dis
posed to do any more in that respect.
The whole matter was finally laid
on the table until a week from last
night. Many OF the members state
that the south track can easily be
made as fast as the north track. and
that they believe the proposition OF
the Kent County Society will be nc
cepted.
So far az transportation Is con-
cerned. the G. r. & I. will build
spur to the track, in case the pro-
position Is accepted.
