THE DEAL CLOSED
And Birmingham Will Have n Racing
 Association-Men With Deter imitation at the Helm.

The deal has been closed, the money paid in, and the Birming gham fair grounds and race track now belongs to H. H. Dargn of San Francisco, T. G.. Hewlett of this city and others.
 For about sixty days Mir. Hewlett held an option on the track and grounds, and during that time has been working faith fully to put it in the hands of men who will make races success, and it may be said that he has succeeded admirably, for next winter the track will be used.
 There is strong probability of matinee racing between now and next winter, but it is too late to make it a congress track, which will of course prevent racing under the rules of tbe American Turf congress.
 The price paid for the track and property was fair one and the owners will, before time for winter racing, repair all of tho buildings and put everything in first. class shape. The new management will spare neither pains nor money in putting every thing in tip-top shape. --.
 A local jockey club will be formed here in short while for the purpose of pro r. noting the interests of racing at the Fair grounds. This will put Birmingham back to old times, as far racing is concerned, and the people of the Magic City are as- sured of the fact that racing will go on at the Fair grounds next winter.
