VERY LARGE FIELDS
ASSURED AT THE COMING BLUE
RIBBON MEETING.
The Entry List Is n Surprise To the

Out Fast mt the Track Nowadays.

Everything looks favorable for the open
ing of the new track Of the Detroit Driv-
ing Club on July 16. when there will be
assembled at this fast course more trot-
ters and PAGERS than have ever taken part
In a six-day meeting in this country. The
entries, which closed on Monday, July 2,
were a surprise even to the management.
True, 1t had been expected that the num-
Der OF prospective starters would run far
beyond 200, but 1t was never thought that
there would be such an average as the
mails in the last day or two have dis
closed. From CALIFORNIA; sunny slopes,

and all the tried campaigners of the

But this gathering of campaigners will
not be surrounded by fixtures a whit less
brilliant than the performers themselves.
The new track merits such an outpour-
ing. for. without exception. 1t is the
grandest of all trotting courses in the
world. The finishing touches have been
put on. and as one stands under the
wire and looks. up the hill which slants
into the stretch. and then gazes at the
magnificent grand stand, it is hard to
realize that the bell had tapped for the
last time at old Hamtramck before the

completion

The Passing of the Pirates,


When the ship of state was sailing,
Sailing grandly and supreme,
With the trade winds blowing freely DER the
land,
Came gang of tariff pirates with Demo-
cratic scheme
And a college DR.. Jekyl in command.
CHORUS.
But they'll share alike at the capstan head
When next Incomes our turn,
For their letters of marque and their plumber
laden bark
In the ninety-six election we will burn.
Against the protest of the nation,
Waging ruin and desolation
On TOO conflding people by deceit,
They have put us on probation on the pretext
Of salvation
With their chieftain's object lesson for a treat.
Now this chieftan rover, Grover,
Is ransacking the world over
Bor dumping ground to put away defeat.
BY his meddling intervention in Hawaii's
close contention
He's made the presidential chair thorny seat.
80 they've taken to freebooting
On q bootless, starving people,
While our industries are burdened with dis
trust.
With the tariff they will monkey and keep
trying to get hunky
On an income tax, till something's got to bust.
On their buster, brag and biunder
We Will pour united thunder
TIL this wrangle tangle congress does adjourn.
And well turn from disaffection back to old,
beloved protection
Which the nine y-six election shall confirm.

In applying this principle the

finds that he does not have to
