That the races will be
success is a foregone fact. as all
arrangements for the meet have been
made or are in progress. This, to-
gether with the array of speedy ami
mails entered, cannot but make the
races interesting. All of the animals

10 arrive and be classified They are

and will enter them in events of their
kind, if any are run. ]. Corson of
Winnipeg, Canada, has with him Mai.
Hal and Geers, 2:2O PAGERS. This is a
long distance to bring horses for

surprises to the field.
Noted Drivers Here.
Among the noted drivers and owners
arriving yesterday were j. H. Morrow,
the veteran driver, who will pilot Lady
Shea, 2:18 trotter, around the course;
J.H. Ewalt who handled Dan Thomas
SO successfully last fall, and DR.. G. w.
Mckenny, who is also one of the ex-
pert reinsmen of the country.
Robert Newton, the famous starter,
will arrive tomorrow from Chicago,
especially to attend this meet, and will
start the animals off on their contests
of speed.
Yesterday at the track was a busy
day. George w. Haight, who has
charge of the final preparations of the
course and other arrangements, had a
large force of men at work. A float
was in use all day dwelling the sur
face. The work progressed rapidly
and by Thursday afternoon the track
will be in condition for fast time. The
horsemen were enthusiastic in their
praise of the course and all We're of
the opinion that grand contests will
result in each event, The fact that
the course Is q mile stretch caused
comment, some preferring half a mile
tracks and others the mile, the only
objection to the mile course being that
when on the back stretch, the racers
are too far away FROM the spectators,
though all conceded that it is a faster
course than the half mile. Many
horses were out speeding and timber
ing UP. Several impromptu brushes
were had and each and every animal
showed up to advantage.
Cresceus Will Not Come.
Cresceus, the famous pacing stallion,
will not come. This was determined
yesterday, as the horse has dates that
cannot be cancelled to come here. This
will be regretted as many persons are
very anxious to. see this animal.
Owing to the fact that many horses
will be scratched from the race in
which they are entered when that race
is called, it will be impossible for those
in charge to arrange the events, and
those animals to race in each until the
calling of the event. The classes of
the horses that will race during the
meet in either one event or the other
during the meet, are as follows:
