prominent in building and repairing
tracks. A two-ton roller and scraper has
been at work for the past week, and the
owners of the horses that trot on the
track have kindly consented to suspend
training there. so as to prevent tearing
the ground up. The track will be as hard
and smooth as possible so that excellent
time may be made. In addition the cor
ners have been banked a foot high. Spec
ial care will be taken to avoid spills. The
