NEW YORK, July 11.-When the grand
circuit stewards met in New York last
January they assigned dates to Detroit.
Cleveland, Buffalo, Poughkeepsie, Read
vile, Providence, Hartford, Syracuse and
Columbus in the order named. They had
no assurance that Cleveland, Providence or
Hartford would give any meeting, and
knew that even II they did there would be
no betting at either, nor Syracuse and Read
Vile. The and Baltimore asso-
citation had representatives on hard pre-
pared to qualify for membership in the
grand circuit, and to hang up suitable
purses and stakes and guarantee betting.
These applications were declined. Cleve-
land dropped early and then Kalamazoo
was in demand to fill in that gap, which
they have done. Now 1t looks as IL Buffalo
would drop out, and If not. there will be no
specializing at either that meeting or the
one at Poughkeepsie. while the same con-
dition of affairs will prevail at Hartford,
Syracuse and Readville.
Providence has dropped out, so that In
truth the only live grand circuit meetings
OF the year will be those at Detroit, Kala-
mazoo and Columbus, three in number, as
compared with a dozen meetings a few
years ago. The men having the best inter-
ests OF the trotting sport at heart will find
a difficult task facing them the coming

NEW YORK. July u.-Memory betting,

vised 10y John Reid, the headmaster of

records OF barometer movements and

perienced lads accompanying them.
Meanwhile other boys note the direc-
ton of the wind and record the tenn
perature from readings OF thermom-
eters hung in the open on the north
and south sides of the school. The
teacher of the class then enters the
particulars on n sheet and encourages

results, and every Friday they write
