ROCHESTER, N. ", May S5,-The stewards
of the Grand Trotting thrtit met yesterday
and arranged the program for the summer
meeting. The following resolution, which is
of great interest to hoasemen, was adopted I:
Resolved, That thegneetings of the circuit
be trotted under the rules of the National
Trotting association rAs ofhey stand today,
unless specified to theeontrary by any mem
ber
Resolved, That the grand circuit oppose
the proposed change in the present distance
rule as inimicai to trotting sport, and an
unjust hardship to the patrons of the turf
who pay entrance money, detrimental to
business of associations. productive of tame
racing, thereby depriying the public who
pay at the gate of spirited and exciting con-
tests among good fields OF horses; in short,
bad at all points and most unwise moye-
ment.
Resolved, That the managers of any asso-
citation desiring shorter distances may have
il by advertising special clause in the pro-
gram, but that we regard IL as unjust and
arbitrary to change the rule, making IL
necessary for associations opposing the
change TO insert a special condition in their
program.
Resolved, That we deprecate the recogni-
tion of tin cup records and favor max.

General Manager Arthur S. Potter of the

make statement of the company's inten-
tions, and to give the public some idea of
what might be expected when the bridge
was in successful operation. He replied
that 1t had not been the policy of the COM
pany at any time TO make any noise
regarding what it proposed to do,
preferring To wait until it has
carried its plans into execution, and
has something that every one could see, as
the public could then view the situation
through its own eyes, and without being in
huenced by interested parties, could form
its own conclusions as TO what the enter
prise means To Omaha. IL was not until it
was urged that the enterprise was quasi
public IN ITS nature, and that the people
were entitled TO more definite knowledge as
To its magnitude, that MIR. Potter yielded.
I'VE have no wish TO be secretive in the
