was purchased east on Michigan ave. $780,
600, has been expended on grounds, track
and buildings. We are informed by ex-
perenced horsemen that the track Is one OF
the finest. The soil is of that springy char
acter which makes fast time but does not
sore horse. The track is one of reg
ulation pattern and eighty feet In width on
the home stretch. There are the stake races
as follows: 81, ZOO for minute trotters; b.

ten per cent. There are class races for the
following: Trotters, 2:1s, 1928, 2:35 and 2:30.
PAGERS, 2:19 and $50. The purses I'm these
class races are $500 each. Entrance fee

are and yr. old trots and 3 yr. old pace,

grounds of the Lansing Driving Club are
large and well built with city water at the
end of each section. The Detroit Lansing
Il Northern Railroad have run side track

best horses are already entered. Weather
permitting Lansing will have one of the
