FAIR DATES FIXED.

A meeting was held il this city Satur-
| day afternoon at the office of Hurley,
| Ryan q Jones by the fair managers
of the different fair associations of this
section for the purpose of arranging
4 circuit. fixing dates, etc. This was
done merely for the purpose of work
ing in unison that dates of different
| associations might not conflict with
one another and also to give horsemen
with good horses an opportunity of
competing in the entire circuit if they
choose, thus ensuring good races. The
| stake races close early enough, so that
they can be declared off, unless they fill
satisfactory. These purses amount to
81. 400 in each town and give the horse
men six weeks of continuous racing for
| the best purses ever hung up in this
section. at the same time the associa-
tons will have to expend less than
usual, as it is distinctly understood that
unless the classes fill they will be de-
clared off.
