FLYING SULKIES AT BRANFORD
On Wednesday and Thursday, July 23.
 24-A Fine Card of Four Races.


 Any one wha "is up tree" so to speak wondering where they will spend next Wednesday and Thursday after moons should not fail to secure a pro- grarnme of the horse races which are due to take place at Branford Driving Park on the above days. The card ar ranged for these races is one of the most attractive ever offered by this en- terprising resort, and that the various events will be prolific of some hair rais- ing finishes no one has the slightest doubt, who knows anything about the events which have taken place at this track on previous racing dates. The entry list which closed yesterday is a "corker," and contains the names of some of the best steppers in the east, then again the purses are large, aggre- gating $S50. There are four races on the card for the two days, two each af- ternoon.
 Taken as a whole it would seem as if the programme cannot fail to attract great crowd on each afternoon. The Second Regiment band will be present on both days, and will enliven the oc- casIon with plenty of good music. Spe- cial trains from all sections of the state have been arranged to carry the throngs to and from the scene of the struggles for the supremacy For the benefit of local patrons, the Branford Park "special will leave Union depot this city at 80 D. m. This train will carry you out and back for only twen- ty-five cents. The admission to the track is but fifty cents.
 For Wednesday is offered the 2:35 class, trot. and the 2:27 class, pace, and for Thursday the 2:19 class. pace, and the 2;21 class, pace. All races are to be run in mile heats, best three in five, and the first event will be called promptly at 2:15 D, m.

THE BIG TWENTY MILE RACE.

Fred Ernst, the sturdy Rochester amateur, who has been making his home in New Haven for the past three months, expects to defeat Champion Marcus Hurley in the big twenty mile amateur race which will be decided at the New Haven Coliseum tomorrow night. He has hobby for the sport of cycle racing. and for several years has figured as one of the leading amateur riders in America When the National Cycling association months ago allotted the Amateur championship races to New Haven, Hartford and Springfield tracks Ernst. with the coveted cham pionship title, fixed in his mind, settled here to train for the contests which will decide the first rider in the land among the amateurs. He is a big, handsome chap. and rides with keen judgment Tomorrow nights prospec- tive battle with the champion is relish for him to contemplate as he is firmly convinced he will win. Two weeks ago when Hurley beat Ernst three inches in one of the most sensational finishes ever seen in this city the Rochester boy rode the entire last lap with his saddle post broken. Even with this misfortune he led Hurley until within ten feet of the tape.
 There will be fun aplenty before the twenty mile race which will be called at 9 p. III.
 One of the features will be the con- cert at 7:3O D. m. by the Second regi- ment band. The races will begin at 8 p. m. Tickets for reserved stand
