A.

 Many local and out-of town horsamen are highly interested in the outcome of the three races, which are down on the card to be run off at their meet, the en- tries are of the first-Class and all of the events will be hotly contested. The first event is the 2:30 class, trot or pace for a purse of $50; the second, the 2:50 class, for trotters, purse of $150 and the final event is the 2:23 class, for which is offered purse of $20o. The first great event will be promptly at 2:15 D. m.
 The horse racing at this popular track is always of the very highest character, and while 1t is the chief at traction a all times, one must not over look the fact that Proprietor Fisk makes it a point to offer various other attractions such as vaudeville, etc, which combined make up a programme hard to equal.
 ;- ,ft ic. solid list of the best and most expensive vaudeville artists now on the boards on this programme, such as Morton and Van Allen in musical comedy, the famous Moyroe troup one of the finest acts of it's kind in the profession. and Al Derby, the champion bag puncher of the state MT. Derby is pronounced by experts to be one of the most scien- tific bag punchers in the east and he gives remarkable exhibition of how to punch the bag.
 MT. Fisk has secured for the musical part of his programme the best to be had, the Second Regiment band and Adler's orchestra of 15 pieces, the former will open the afternoons enter- tainment with grand concert and Ad- lers orchestra will render a delightful programme of classical music. A slight change will be made in the vaudeville programme, the three Droles who were booked to appear at this park on Fri day are prevented from doing so owing to the fact that one of the members of the team broke his leg while performing one of their tricks on last Saturday night.
 The Monte Moyroe troupe is consid- cred one of the finest in the profession and their presence will be a big inn provement over the original bill. The management were indeed fortunate in securing such artists to take the place of the three Drolles.
