Charter Oak Races.

The Charter Oak Driving Association, with its usual liberality to horsemen and it's yearly presentation to the public of a fine race program, has added this year to its exceptionally large fields of horses some special attractions of unusual worth.
 The grand circuit meeting at Charter Oak is known as the carnival meeting of the east. Horsemen acknowledge Char ter Oak track to be the best in the coun- try, and when the flyers meet there, be- ginning August 25, it is safe to say that old records will be displaced by new and possibly sensational ones.
 The list of entries being large, it is only necessary to note the unusually fine ar engagement of the cards presented for each days performance. This meeting, more than any other along the grand circuit line, is the one looked forward to for un. usual results, in matters of speed, by breeders, drivers, horsemen and the pub. lie generally.
 Tuesday, August 25, Belle Hamlin and Justina, MT. c. J. Hamlin's fast double team, will give an exhibition mile to beat their double team record of 2.13.
 The $10,0O0 stake race fol 2.20 trotters will be called Wednesday, August 26 No other trotting race in the country has gained such national reputation, as en. tries have come from the nearby shores of the Atlantic to the distant lands of the Pacific. The field presented this year k unrivaled by any heretofore, in point o1 speed and number. Among others the Pleasanton stock farm, from California sends the name of Little Albert, while Marcus Daly, the Montana copper king names Prodigal, 2.174, a full brother te Patron, who won the Charter Oak in 1887
 On Thursday, Aug. 27, the insurance stake of $4,OOO for the side-wheelers, will bring together fast and record-smashine field.
