HonsrMEN nEoRoANrzEp.

Michigan lovers of trotting cannot
tail toAe Sratified over the reorganiza-
ton of the Grand Rapids Horsemen's
association, which was accomplished
last night. For the past two years the
old association has been the most pro-
gressive exponent of tho race track in
the state, and second to mono in the
west. Under its management the most
noted trotting event in the recent his
tory of the turf took place. It's meet
ings have been remarkable for speedy
horses and fast time. Under its pat
ronage the stars Of the circuit have
been exhibited here and the city has
gained . national reputation ~ an en-
courager of legitimate trotting and
pacing. But the business management
Of the ASSOCIATION WAS conducted
under extremely lax principles and tho
society found itself bankrupt at the
close OF the August meeting. The new
association is organized upon . business
basis. It's seven directors ara among
the keenest and shrewdest business
men of the city. They are responsible
for the affairs of the society and may
DO depended upon to perform their
duties faithfully. In the retention of
Don J. Lsashers ~ president, the new
ASSOCIATION paid deserved compliment
20 one of the best and most fsvorably
known patrons Of turf events in Amer
ica. There il every reason 70 believe
that under the new management the
interest in racing will DO revived in
Grand Rapids. and that tho people of
Northern Michigan will again have the
opportunity of seeing some of the most
remarkable and excisingSpeed contests
known to the track.
