Giant PAGERS Meet


with the end of the Fleetwood Meeting came
q dissolution of the big combination Of racing
stables which the Grand Circuit has kept 80
closely aligned for the past two months. From
the initial meeting of tho circuit chain at De
| troit the big stables have presented n practi
cally united front, but now thai the grand
Northern campaign has run it's course, thorC
has come n complete split.up of tho great caval
cade.
A number OF the big stables, especially those
which hail from the West, will Journey back "a
tho Hoosicr state, where, Mt indianapolis and
Terro Hautc, they will find n good field ofopera'
tion TO fill up the interim between now and the
dates for the opening Of the big Southern meet
ings at Lexington and Louisville, where the
clans will again unite for the final battles OF
the year. Others Of the big aggregation which
crowded F~leotwood's precincts during the past
week will ship direct to Kentucky or to their
home tracks to mako preparations for the last
OF the big meetings.

State and the pronounced success OF tho Grand
Circuit meetings in tho East have created such a
demand for places in the big chain for next sea
son that it is difficult to see how the circuit
stewards will be ablo to make satisfactory as.
