get in this circuit, and it is the first
year, owing to the dates that we were
able to get in. The circuit and dates
are as follows:
DEBORAH, week of Aug 8; Mason
City week of Aug. 10; FIT. Dodge,

27.
The classes for the entire circuit
are arranged as follows: 2:12, 2:16,
2:20 and 2:27 trot. Free for all pace
2:13; 2:17 and 1926.
