ISOLATION. writes that all the horses
now facing there. and which will Inter
race at Pimlico will be shipped to
Jamestown. and then there are lots
OF horses that Will not race at either
| OF those tracks that will be shipped
direct here. Canada Will send down a
| big bunch.
Thu indications are that tu-fmen
and trher followers of the track will
be here in large numbers from New
York. Philadelphia. Baltimore. Wash
ingtof and other places in the North.
| Already the local hotels. OF which
there Is an abundance of the first
class type. are receiving communica-
| ticns from prospective visitors as TO
reservations. and boxes are being re-
served In the grandstand at the track.
From day to day the outlook for a
big meeting here grows brighter.
There Is no reason why owners should
not ship their horses here, and as
there will be on in the East no other
races at the time of the Jamestown
meeting. there exists very good
reason for theh doing So Manager
Levy sent down from Marlboro the
names of nineteen owners who will
ship here lis hesH OF horses, and he
adds that there are plenty more to
follow.
