Prospects for Horse TrOtting on the
Ice-Negligent Property Owners-A
Happy Druggist-Received no Per.
manent Benefit From the Keely
Cure-New Building for the Uso of
Town Paupers.
There is fair prospect of some lively
sport on the lake this week If the weather
continues favorable, as the owners of fast
trotters are interested in the chance of
speeding their flyers upon smooth course
when the good qualities of the same can be
fairly showed up. A half mile straight
away course can be had upon the Ice
which is in fine condition and nearly, If
not quite, footin thickness. A course
is to be laid out to-day by some of the
horaemen and it is probable that during
the week, and longer If the weather holds
cold, the scenes of the winter Of 1878
will be repeated and trotters from the
borough and from Meriden will be speeded
for all that they are worth. The ice Is In
better condition than has ever been known
for number of years, and the light fall
of snow can easily be cleared away TO,
one of the best straight away half mile
courses with but little effort.
