park, July 4. The fences that were
blown down last summer, have been
Strengthened and the track planned and
brushed down SO that it is now in the
pink of condition. 1t has been a little
too cold for the horses To be worked
out but now that the weather is warm
or the horses will be placed at the track
in a short time.
1t is probable that there will be d
good string of horses on the track,
working out this year. There are but
two new promising animals since last
year. They are Il 7-year old chestnut
PAGER that was brought here from
Providence. and roam mare brought
here from Kentucky. Neither of the
horses has a mark, but from their ac-
lions there is but slight question that
they will do good work. this year The
former is sired by Gillins and is out Of
Rcdpath.
AS yet but little interest outside Of
the horSCmcn is shown in the racing
track. but the horscmen are confident
that this will be an unusually good sea
son for them.
