stake to the number which were reed
during 1914, and several other iuno-s

OF the stakes will be practically the
same as last season, two will be

benefit Of Juvenile trotters.
For the first time IN history. the
local association will entertain the
real baby trotters. the two-year-olds,
that event being the one which has
been added TO the former program. II
will be known az the Forest City

two-year-old trotter with $500 added
money.
