HORSE NOTES OF INTEREST
NEW HAVEN HORSES AND THENEXT
 MEET THE PARK.

Praise for tho Last Meet-ChanGes of Own ership of Various New Haven Fast Horses-Traiuer Fox's Coming Change of Base-The Various Meets Throughout the State.
 The meeting of the New Haven Driv- ing association at Elm City park last week inaugurated the opening of the trotting season in this state and judg- ing from the number of dates claimed, this will be very busy season for the horses.
 Following the New Haven meeting came the meeting at Windsor this week, and next week Branford will again take upon herself to give meet ing. After the Branford meeting comes the four days meeting of the Water bury Driving association, and the week following New Haven will again be in- vaded by the trotters.
 The horsemen greatly appreciate the endeavors of the various associations to give races, and many of the faster horses will be kept in this vicinity all season.
 The races at Elm City park last week were well spoken of by every one who attended them, and everywhere are spoken words of praise for the local as- sociation for the manner in which the races were conducted and the fine sport offered. It is the intention of the local association to give three days meet ing during labor week in September, at which the leading attraction will prob ably be Marion Mills, 2:06A, the guide less wonder. This wonder of the equine world paces mile on either half or mile tracks without any driver sulky or harness, and requires no one to guide her in her marvellous flight of speed. Besides this great attraction there will be many others which will be deserving of public patronage.
