A Vermont TrottIng Circuit to Include
BrattlebOrO.

The coming winter, prominent horse
men in Barre and Montpelier will make an
effort to organize Vermont racing circuit.
1t is claimed by the prime movers that
such a circuit would be of financial profit
to the owners of both the trotting parks
and horses. The great advantage TO be
gained would be the adjustment of so
many conflicting dates. The towns which
it is proposed to include in the circuit are
Barre, Brattleboro, White River Junction,
Tunbridge, Mortified, st. Johnsbury,
Morrisville, Enosburg Falls, Burlington,
Rutland and Waterbury.
