TR0TTER AND PAGER

The Buffalo tangle has righted itself
and II is now certain that Buffalo. SO
long a prominent factor in the big har-
ness circuit. Will once more take its ac-
customed place
since 1896 the grand circuit meeting OF
the Buffalo Driving club will be held on
the American side ince the abandon
ment OF the old Buffalo park, where for
years the harneSss horse reigned su-
preme under the management of c. J..
Hamlin, the annual meeting has been
held nthe track at Fort Erie. Ont.
just across the river from the Queen city.
With the building of the superb new
plant at Kenilworth. hope was revived
that meeting could be held on United
States soil again. and the past week has
made that possible.
Arrangements have just been made
with Mr. S s. Rowland. who recently
purchased the track at receivers sale,
whereby the trottins meeting scheduled
for Aug 3 to will be pulled of at Kenil-
worth park.
The relief from Canadian red-tape Will
be welcome to the circuit followers The
new Kenilworth plant was built at an
approximate cost OF S250.0o0 and it's ap-
pointments are superior 10 those OF any
other track in the country.
