BIG CROWDS COMING.
Grand Circuit Meeting Attracting
Much Notice in the State.

Three races each day are provided for on
the programme for the five days of the
Grand Circuit meeting given by the Indian
apoIis Driving Club this week. Three races
would not seem to be much of a pro-
gramme were they running races, but with
harness races, where three heats must be
won to settle a race, it sometimes occurs
that a single event will amount to six,
seven or eight races. for every heat is a
race where such liberal purses are hung up
as those which will be contested for next
week.
An old horseman who has been keeping
an eye on the work of almost every horse
that is entered here said last night that the
horses were so evenly matched that he did
not look for many races where a horse
would win in one. two. three style. He re-
ferred to the recent races at Cleveland, Co.
lUmbus and Fort Wayne, in which a large
number of the horses which are to race
here were entered. The summaries of those
races show that six and seven heats were
the ordinary thing. and a horse might get
away with two heats without having a
cinch on the third.
The horses have been going just about
long enough this year to make their per-
for1nance here very uncertain. AT Cleve-
land a horse may have almost walked away
from his competitors, while at
the easy money may have fallen TO any
one of the several Who could scarcely get
a place at Cleveland. This simply empha-
sizes the statement that the horses which
are coming here are classed very evenly, and
that the races will therefore have all the
interest that uncertainty gives them and
at the same time retain the high standard
of racing which has characterized the sew
eral meetings in the Grand Circuit this
season. 1t is the uncertainty of the result
as much as the character of the horses en-
tered that goes 10 make the race interesting
and exciting.
The indications are that the five DAYS
racing this week will draw thousands of
people TO the city from all parts of the
State. The driving club has advertised il
literally. and throughout the State the low
ers of the STANDARDIZED horse nave been
looking forward to this event as one of great
magnitude. The railroads have all made
excursion rates. and will In addition run
some cheap excursions into the city.
Secretary Graves, of the driving club,
was at Fort Wayne yesterday. He saw the
wind-up of the Grand Circuit meeting
there. which he says was a great success.
He says the people of Fort Wayne declare
they never knew what good harness racing
was until their city became a member of
the Grand Circuit. Mr.. Graves found the
races were the chief topic of conversation
everywhere. and also found that hundreds
OF people were coming to this city 10 see
more of it. He believes that an interest
has been created in harness racing by the
cities of Fort Wayne and Indianapolis hav-
tia will result in doubling the attendance

STATE FAIR ARRANGEMENTS.
Races VIII All BE Two Out of Three
Heats-Prc MUM Changes.

The Indiana State fair this year will be
held Sept. 14-19. The premium lists. which
are now being mailed to exhibitors, have
some changes in them from the list last
year, which is especially important TO ex-
hibitors throughout the State. Last year
in the live stock department diplomas were
awarded to sweepstake shows. This year
they have been displaced, and cash premi-
ums havs been offered in their stead. The
number of premiums awarded has been
greatly increased from last year, especially
in the live stock department. Where be-
fore there were two awards made, this year
there will be three.
The race programme represents an outlay
of about $4,000, and is divided between trot-
ters and PAGERS. giving eight races 20 each
Of the light harness horses. The programme
for Tuesday. Sept. Is. is 2:3O trot, 223 pace.
2:14 pace. 2:12 trot. For Wednesday. 2:30
pace, 2:2o trot. free-for-an pace. 2:20 pace.
For Thursday, 2as' itrot, 2:17 trot.
2.S5 trot. Friday. free-for-all trot.
zoe pace. 2:26 trot, 2:2s pace.
The special feature of the rules
controlling races is that all are mile heats,
two best IL three, instead of three best in
five, as is usually the case. The races are
also limited to four heats, and at that time
il no horse has won two heats, the money
will be divided as the horses then rank.
Spectators will witness a new race every
little while, and will not tire watching the
same field OF horses score time after time.
An important matter fore horsemen TO
know is a change that has been made in
the official programme, changing the 2:10
to the 2:o9. There are so many
horses that nave acquired records re-
Gently that are eligible. TO the
2:09 and not to the 2:le, that IL has
made this change necessary. Entries have
already been received at the office of the
secretary, and since the entries close on
the eth of September, almost a month
from this date, this il very encouraging

profit by sending for catalogues early and
having their entries made at the proper
time.
