What Lexington is to the lovers of harness horses the Reidville meeting, which begins today holds the same position-more importance, artistical- ly. is attached to the Lexington meet ing in October but financially the Reidville meeting will eclipse it.
 It is the banner event of the grand circuit-all the cracks that have been racing from Buffalo to Brighton Beach will light for the rich purses. There are five stake events on the card ag- gregating $S1,000 with $16,000 in purses --$46.Oo0 for six days harness racing. The program closes Friday afternoon. but the owners of the track have arr ranged an extra day. the entries for the Saturday races to close Friday night.
 Blue Hill, 2:30 class, trot, which has more than ordinary interest for local McCurdy mare. Texas. will start. The others will probably be Stanley Dillon or Alexander, driven by Geers; Lison- jero. the bay gelding. driven by How ard: Scott Hudsons gray horse, Bonnie Russell: Snyder McGregor, the chest nut gelding driven by Snow; Ruth C.. Ben Kenney's gray mare; and proba- bly Jolly Bachelor.
 Stanley Dillon the fight of his life when Ed. Geers won the M. and M. at Buffalo with the Steinway horse. but 2:l1 1-2 was the fastest heat trot- ted. At the Empire City track in New York on the ninth of this month, Texas beat Snyder McGregor the first heat in 2:10 3-4. and finished second in the other two in 2:09 1-2, 2:11 1-2, Snyder McGregor taking both of them. Ruth C., Jolly Bachelor and Alexander finished way back, and the horse thas wins today will have to go better than 2.10 unless something is radically
 The big event of the week will be the Massachusetts-2:1 class-trot on Sweet Marie. the unbeaten daughter of Mckinney, and the most talked of trotter on the Grand Circuit. will start in this. and from her past record has last week she won the first heat of the $10,000 Long Island 2:14 trot in 2:os fiat, Aristo. the bay gelding that DeReyder is driving, trotting her a Alexander started in that race, but tho pace was too hot and Geers finished way back with him.
