SUCCESSFUL GRAND CIRCUIT MEETING.
7 The meeting of the Grand Circuit at Charter Oak
Park In this city this week has been successful
both IN its contests and in the attendance There
has been much discussion as to the probability OF
the Law and Order League raiding the betting
ring, but there has been outward manifestation
OF the sort. The fact that the park proper is
under the Jurisdiction Of the police Of Hartford by
authority Of the Legislature and that the betting
ring is just outside the limits prescribed and In
the town Of West Hartford. has brought out a dis
cIalmer OF responsibility the part Of the Chief
OF Police. which the Police Board has upheld. West
hartford officials were greatly disturbed over
bur iDsiS ted hat here
no bar for intoxicating liquors West Hartford is
a no license town The management willingly
conceded the point, and it looks nightly Ike
stand of between the parties-poOI selling TO be
winked AT and rum selling TO be prohibited. The
speculation has been large during the week aver
aging nearly $4,000 day. The track event OF note
was the great mile of Cresceus the stallion trotter
2.ot44 which was the most admirable performance
horsemen and breeders Of the country were present
The horse made neither skin nor brea, and he U-as
paced by two rGnners. driven by Dickersou OF Joe
Patchen fame, and Walker, a yeraran driver OF
the trottng turf. Cresceus was never in finer con-
dition and his finish was strong Well posted
so long ne holds the worlds stallion trotting
record he will not be urged again.
HARTFORD's REMARKABLE GROWTH
The phenomenal growth Of Hartford in the last
decade shown by the census from 50 80 to 10
$50, or 50Ol cent. is the more ~emarable when
It is further known that the greater part OF this
growth has been in the latter half OF the decade It is
true that the bicycle and firearms Industries have
had much 10 do with the industrial growth and
that for the last three years the motor carriage
and the steel tube and rubber tire business have
been important factors but there are other indus
tries which have had as much 10 do with the gen
eral prosperity these larger interests Just now
Hartford is not growing IN population although Il
undoubtedly growing in material interests. The
conbtna tlOns. such as the American Bicycle Com
pany. which has reduced the output OF wheels from
the Pope plant. and the Steel Tube Trust which
has thrown the fine plant in this city OF COM
mission altogether give a feeling Of uneasiness as
to the immediate future in some departments OF
Industry.
Other concerns, growing in floor space and IN
number Of persons employed coming on 10
take the places OF the bigger Still. the
bigger ones will probably not cease production,
pany reduced its working force once this season
but being taken on, and the out
look there IS good. There is also an indication
that the steel tube plant, now st viii be utilized
by the American Brass Company for tube drawing
II this done IL will bring employment several
hundred
The trolley lines have had much to do with the
growth Hartford They have been established
only FIVE years. and no account has been taken OF
the large number OF persons employed in the city
and sharing general prosperity who live outside
the city but inside the five fare limit IN the
neighbOrfng towns The growth OF Hartford has
been substantial IN the character OF its buildings
for factory mercantile and residence. Its homes
and beautiful chain OF parks make Hartford at
tractive and impressive TO visitors
An event Of interest booked for October 4 in this
city IS the dedication Of the Campbell monument
which Is 10 be bronze statue OF General Griffin
OF what was the camping ground OF several OF the
regiments which went out from this city in the
early sixties. There will be parade OF Army vet
