FAST EVENTS EXPECTED.

From the indications at present there

cellent quality of the races to be held at
Narragansett Park next week. The
purses TO be given away OFFER an induce

horse-nesh that will be hard 10 resist.
Contrary to the usual on the first days
OF the meeting there will be some OF the
best events OF the week run of. and not
a few of them on the speedy half-mile
track.
For the 2l3 trot on Tuesday Lake
Queen and Ralph Wick will compete
Lake Queen is one OF those entered for
the Roger Williams stake. a 2:l2 event.
which will be raced In connection with
the Grand Circuit meeting. Another en-
try In the 2:l3 trot Is Alcey. who won the
2:14 trot al Readville on the Fourth In
2:14h
In addition 10 this event there will be
the 2:15 pacing class for a purse OF $1,000,
w..h Brookdale Girl among the eligibles.
Aintree, a New Hampshire horse, by
Chimes, out OF a mare by Mambrtno
King. is regarded as a fast stopper who
will Increase the interest that Is already
being taken in this event.
The 2:3O trot for 5000 will probably be
all that can be desired in the way OF a
close race. and f. II. vien's mare, Sally
Hooker, OF Pawtucket, will have a hard
field to quill away from. II is not COM
