1t has been generally supposed that the

action died several years ago and that what is
left of the much lauded venture at the
summit of the dirt banks in the eastern part
of town was all that would ever be seen of

such is not the case.
The papers set forth that The Shenandoah
Trotting & Athletic Association, when or.
ganized several years ago, had a capital stock
Of $4,000, or 1000 shares of $40 each that
four assessments, amounting to eighty per cent
of said capital stock, was called and paid,
and twenty per cent, or $4,000, still remains
that l. NJ. Robbins is Judgment creditor in
the sum of S2,1S4O6; that a writ of Fl. ia. was
issued in May, 1891, and returned nula bona
and the judgment remains unsatsfed
Mr. Robbins, through his counsel, Mr.
Hollopeter asks that an accounting Of The
Shenandoah rrotting Il Athletic Association
be required, and the court direct that al
assessment on the stockholders be made 70
the twenty per cent. of the capital siocl
which was not paid in. He also asks that
receiver be appointed to collect the assess
ments and satisfy the claims which are stand
ing against the association.
