the element for a circuit that may lie
nu.de profitable to themselves aud to
horsemen, aud a mat tier of Interest to
the public. United, and working on a
harmonious plan, they can safely offer
an amount of money that will bring
together such fields of good horsca as
will attract the public, and, moreover,
will bring these horses lu such nuni

long way toward liquidating the
