will hold the field and the racing COM
mttee has announced it's determination to
bring here some of the finest runners in the
country. The restoration of harness races
in 1923 undoubtedly will mark the complete

more effective means of quickenrg the
popularity of the annual exposition among
the people Of this and neighboring States.
