Some Of the Best Racing Of Season
to Be at Providence Grand Circuit.

Providence, r. l., Aug Att is now
only two weeks until the opening of
the Providence Grand Circuit races at
NarraganSett park, and horsemen
throughout the country are watching
with interest the progress of the fast
est horses in the world toward the
famous local race course. This looks
70 be the greatest year for harness
racing in history. and it is safe to say
that this city will have it's share of the
Slories Of record smashing as in the
past.

Will meet Highball and the other ia
nous trotters. and the purse hung up
for them is 5000.
But the greatest race Of all and
probably the greatest race ever given
in the world, will be the Park Brew
stake. This IS the richest stake ever
offered for so fast a class, and the
class is the fastest in the world. II is
also the only class race ever given i'm
which the average record of any two

who is tied for the championship of
the world, and Bolivar 2o0si. who is
within quarter of 4 second of the
worlds champion race horse. Twenty
six entries were received for this event
which is another worlds record for
such class. In fact, the Park Brew
is an entirely original sensation, and
will be watched with interest wherever
harness horses are known and bred for
speed.
The complete program provides
for five days racing. from Aug. 20 to
30, and is replete with sensational
features which will make the stay of
the Grand Circuit brigade in these
plantations a notable event.
