Hornen Adyertlse seIma.

Selma has been given a large amount of free advertising during the past week by the horse papers of the North and West.
 In the horse papers of this week there Is full account of the great American handicap trotting race which was held at the Reidville track on August 25, and which was won by Lon Mcdonald with Allen Winter. In several of these papers Selma Is tea- tured prominently as a winter resort for harness horses and as the track upon which Allen Winter received his preliminary training during the past spring
 There Is a movement among several of the business houses of the city to raise a fund of $500 or 3400 which Is to be used in resurfacing the track and putting 1t in first class condition and to make an effort to get a larger number of horses to spend the winter in Selma than there has been at the track before.
 A citizen who Is known by prob- ably all of the prominent drivers of the country has volunteered to go North at his own expense and act as agent for the track and to induce horsemen to come to Selma for the winter If the track Is placed in con- ditlon.
 The wlnterinE of horses at the Selma track is worth to the business interests of the city from sl5.0OO to s25.000 each year. It is also a busi- ness from which the city gets consid- erable advertising and unless the track Is fixed up In the next few weeks She horsemen will not come to Selma for the winter.
