GOSHEN 1-2 MILE. TRACK SHOWING
 SPLENDID FORM
TrOtting Horses Have Fine Training Grounds for
 June go Race

Goshen, N. T., May 2o-(speciaD With it's new green roofs and freshly painted white walls, historic half-mile track today looks more like Q model village for human beings, than it does a home for some of the best trotters and pacers in the country. It's apparently no dogs life being Q horse.
 Historical
 Inspection of the picturesque equine speedway, which dates back full century and saw Goldsmith Maid, 2:l4, greatest money winner of all time, race over its fast clay surface, discloseS that more than 16 buildings, including the grand stand, have been not only cleaned and painted, but thoroughly mod. ernized in every detail.
 Even the Grand Circuit campaign CTS of Billy Dickerson, trained for E. Roland Hartman, of New York, seem to notice the difference in their surroundings. Stables have been rebuilt wherever necessary, 400 gallons of paint spread throughout the colorful plant, new rails erected around the entire half-mile track, and flower beds laid out. MT. Hartman is determined that noth- ing will be left undone to make his property one of the best on the en- tire Grand Circuit.
 New Spot
 For the first time in the history of the major league trotting loop 1t will visit the historic track this summer. The dates are July 2l-25. The big time card will be the first of Goshen'S two Grand Circuit meets this summer, the second one coming August 10-15, with the Hamble- tonian on August 12.
 Dickerson reports that Frisccmite, Hambletonian ace, stepped 8 mile yesterday in 2:18, last quarter in 30% seconds, which Is moving right along, as any horseman will agree. Scott McElwyn, his other Hamble- tonian candidate, has been trained in 2:20, final sprint in g seconds. Whenever Mir. Hartman can es- cape from business in New York, he BOC0 " GOoklCII WAtA1 ME6s 81dEEl~ man to help Billy to help Billy bring his stable to tip-top form for the inaugural at Cleveland June %.
 Between Historic track, where 200 horses can be stabbed, and Good Time mile track, owned by William H. Cane, where even more can be handled, this village is expected to play host to more than 500 crack trotters twice this summer. The first card, in July, will present Q costume rehearsal to the Hamhle- tonian when the Tuxedo Purse Is trotted by practically the same field of three-year old as will go to the post in August Q tthe mile track here.
 Other events at Historic track in July will rival any other meeting on the l936 big time harness loop, vet- eran horsemen declare.
