Grand Circuit Opens at Brighton.


NEW YORK, Aug 1S.-The grand
circuit seaside meeting began at
Brighton Beach with ideal racing
weather. The star feature of the card
was to have been a mile against the
worlds trotting record Of 2:o21A by the
champion mare Lou Dillon. It was de-
cided. however, that the state of the
track was not good, and the mare was
merely sent fast exhibition mile. She
went the quarter in 0:284, the half in
0:59, the three-quarters in 1904 and
the mile in 2:03a4. She will go to beat
the record later in the week. In the
Sc, 900 stake for the 2:20 trotters. with
Jay McGregor as the choice at even
money against the field, John Taylor
was the hot lone in the field and won
the odd trick with little to spare.

by the Hartfords of late-Harford

citation has just been formed up in
Springfield and the members, who are
some of the leading citizens, are pre-

scale on that same park. Some changes
are to be made and it may be that the
