GRAND CIRCUIT STAKESHALF MILLION DOLLARS GIVEN WITHIN FEW WEEKSTHE GRAND CIRCUIT CHANGESTerre Haute?s Withdrawal Was Not Surprise To Those on the Inside, Says the Horseman.ping of Terre Haute as a Grand Circuitracing point, and the third was the admission of the Kinpiro City track, New York, to membership in the big line.Terre Haute’s withdrawal occasionedno surprise, for with the non-success of the last meeting at the. four-cornered track there were reports that the Indiana association would not again occupy a place in the line. President XV. P. Tjams summed up the situation when he remarked: We are in the wrong place on the map and are 11 red of getting bad weather right along.” It; was due almost entirely to the weather that the meetings of the last few years have not been successful.

The world prodiAll responsil jewelers keepClose to half a million dollars will be distributed by the Grand Circuit tracks this year says The Horseman. This immense sum will be given, to horse owners in eleven weeks after the opening at Detroit on July 20, and does not represent all the money the big campaigning stables will be able to compete for. Following the close of the circuit at Cincinnati are the big meetings at Dexington and Memphis, where the stakes and purses are of Grand Circuit size, and as the circuit will commence a week later than has been the case for several years there should be several first-class meetings where the big stables will lind a chance to try out their performers. Both east and west should provide these curtain raisers to the opening of the big line, with the result, that the racing at Detroit should be more than ordinarily interesting. Spectators should be able to obtain a fair idea of the ability of the horsesentered in the stakes, for while time trials are interesting they do not takethe place of actual races for the purposeof demonstrating the ability of the horses.With these few preparatory races the tirst meeting of the east and west at the opening meeting will be. sure to bedoubly interesting to the whole country.
