races of three heats each and one dash race.
one OF the innovations OF the Cleveland pro-
graInme is TO have specified time Tor the racing
OF each heat and to start each heat on It's scheo-
uled time. This is sure TO ind favor with hofse'
men and spectators alike, as II will DO away with

ters and two for PAGERS. Two are at mile ana
a quarter and two at a mile and a half.

trotters and for PAGERS, to which the manage
ment contributes s4o0 and 500, respectively. The
entire Of entrance money in these two races
