trian honors on the track in previous
years.
The arrivals yesterday were twelve in
number from the stables of N. w. HUI
binger of this city, and was the last of
the complement of twenty-three horses
owned by Mr.. Hubinger. Eleven of his

barn with the Hubinger string. In this
string comes first Dan O., a pony PAGER

season. Last years campaign for him
was a fortunate one, for in twenty
seven straight heats he won nine races.

favorites in his string.
Bowen's stable is another to arrive

to arrive at the track in the early part
of next week.
The entry list for the $4,000 Hart
ford Futurity, which the authorities
of Charter Oak park offer to breeders
of the continent closed yesterday. Dur
ing the last few years the only stake of |
this class has been offered by the Ken
lucky Trotting Horse Breeders asso
citation. The New England Breeders
association has followed suit with en-
tries closing yesterday also, and now
Hartford follows, so that breeders of |
the east will have at least two great |
stakes to compete for in their own ter
ritory and as the dates do not conflict |
with either Louisville or Lexington |
the date is not far distant when the |
premier three year-old of the year if |
entered will be able to win
stakes aggrega ting $4,000. There are
even greater possibilities, for it is safe
to say that New York and other associa-
The track is being worked down to
a fine point, and in state of condition,
it is far and away ahead of most every
other park in the circuit. The trees
in the nfield are being pruned, that
the view may not be INSTRUCTED while
the grass is greener than most green
swards due to the care and culture of |
last fall.
