Lansing Races.

In view of the number of horses that
have taken part in the first two meet
ings in the Michigan circuit and the
recruits that are coming from Canada
on the grand circuit, the outlook for
first meeting of the new Lansing Driv-
ing Club is excellent. Racing on the
mile track in the Capitol City will be
held August II to 90, and the sport will
be as interesting as that in any city in
the state. Lansing has the best track
in Michigan, according to the trainers
The Lansing Drying Club is compos-
ed of some of the most substantial men
in the state. 1t is permanent organi-
cation, incorporated, and its business is
being handled by men who understand
racing Their experience Is that if the
attraction is worthy, the people will re-
spond, and with this in view they are
not sparing expense in inducing owners
to ship to Lansing and take part in the
program. In another year the initial
meeting being success, the driving
club will broaden its scope by giving a
number of stake events.
