 At Riverside park, Foxon, is half mile track, and under the new ruling of the National Trotting association it is feared that it will interfere with the success of future meetings, unless it is decided to contest for mile heats. The prizes awarded have usually been oats, but sufficiently valuable to prove quite an incentive to owners of good horses, and a good number have been trotted at the meetings. Heretofore winning horses in the half-mile heats have not been given a record, but the new rul- ing of the national association provides that winning horses in half-mile heats must be given a record. This would be bar in trotting them in other races. It is thought by some that the management will decide for the future meetings at Riverside park that mile heats shall be trotted, but no action has yet been taken.
