have put in an appearance today The
! indications are that most of the horses
entered Will be ON hand when the
gong sounds for the first race. The
track is in fair condition and promises
| to be better if no more rain falls before
the meeting is concluded. The box Of
fee amphitheater and judges stand,
recently erected, are Il decided inn
provement over the old affairs.
Around the stables all is activity in
anticipation of the races. The air is
pregnant with the talk and smell of
horse. Owners, handlers and Jocks, y
seated together in groups, discuss the
merits of this or that horse, or talk of
past campaigns, or victories yet to be
won. There is probably as pretty and
fast bunch of animals assembled here
for the coming races as have ever be-
fore been brought together in this city.
The entries for the 2:25 trot and
free-for-all pace are in, and these
events will be pulled off as scheduled.
Many of the heats promise to be hard
fought all the way around. This is
likely to be especially true of the free
for-all, in which there are entered four
horses with Il mark of better than >: TO-
The opening race, the 2:40 trot, is any
body's event, most of the starters being
green. Nosfad, who has gone the mile
in :241la, stands a good show of landing
inside the money. Helen Beautiful, Il
clean-lmbed. handsome, dark brown
mare, looks fit to make a hard fight for
a place near the top. The 2:19 pace
promises to be one of the hottest bat
ties of the meet, with Gates Ajar, :20A:
City. LAY; Little Judy, :1a: George
Young, 10, and others in the field, pre-
SCENTS good bunch, all of which can be
depended on to go the limit to land the
money. Black Kid, a Peoria horse
CID, entered for the 10 pace. which
fought out such a sensational finish
with Queen Lill in the same event two
Years ago, will probably not start, ow-
ing to his having been fired recently.
City is likely to run away with first
money In this event, with Gates Ajar
and Little Judy close up for second.
Probably the handsomest horse ever
seen on the local track is Gates Affair."
Il bright bay mare. and as sleek and
between pair of thills. The 2:4O pace,
with its long list of entries, is likely to
be hard-fought battle, With the OUT
come matter of uncertainty. The
Professor Holm, Lady Ensign, Old
rosa ought to be heard from in this
event. The 2:20 trot will doubtless be
one of the best races of the meet, with
IAN,
W., PIN as probable winners. Mona
A., Ply, will not start in this event,
but instead is entered in the 2::25 trot.
The 1925 trot will undoubtedly be one
Of the bruising races and there is one
Of half a dozen starters eligible to run
off with the purse. Doctor b., IL: Bo-
lega Girl, rs; Artoys, III; Mona a.,
Pig, and Lady Nightville, 241a,

on, DEBORAH and Marion, and can be
depended on for every foot of a fast
nile.
No former race held in this city has
