horses is exceptionally fine and among
the best that have been shown on any
race track this season.
Bleuer's band will furnish music for
the entire week. The track is fast and
the grounds in fine shape. and with
favorable weather the people of Rock
Island and vicinity will be furnished
some rare entertainments.
Watch Tower cars run within one
block of the grounds and special cars
will be put on for the entire week.
The management has looked after the
minor details for this meeting very
carefully, and the track will be we'll
sprinkled, and everything has been
cleaned up fresh and new
