Of course the grounds, after these seven weeks of drought, could not present the inviting appeal ance usual a£ this time a year. The hills to tie easi, generally so beautiful in their autumn tints; the green sward of thegrounds and the freshening foliage—all have disappeared under the sun’s blighting rays.©ut all these features, while pleasant for the eye to look upon, “have nothing to do with the case.” It is the “great four-cornered track’’ that just now most deeply interests the people. Superintendent Schaal has not let pass an idle moment since work btfean on the track. Handicapped as he was for the wait of a soaking rain while the 500 car loads of clay were being placed, horsemen who went over the track yesterday declared it to be at feather edge. Every pebble nas been picked out of the clay and the packer has rolled the track into perfect shape. All who have scrutinized it carefully declare it to be in as fine ehape as ever be/ore.• • •* *Of course, the,people who went out yesterday on reaching the grounds made straight away to see Pointer and Patchen. The “big black horse/’ as Patchen is known, is in the laet barn, and the knowing ones declared him to be in the pink of condition. He looks every inch the great race horse he is, and ardent admirers could be heard to declare their faith in his ability to lower the two-minute mark. ^Star Pointer occupies the stable that Nancy Hanks called her own for so long. The big baj uas not “at home’' to visitors yesterday afternoon and was supposed to be elmen, having on several oc- taking a snooze behind the closed doors and honors. He has been con- windows. Plainly the Milwaukee track wasnot to the liking of the “Pinter Hoss” last week, but as he went but one fast mile, and that the first, it is thought he will be in fine fettle for tomorrow’s supreme effort. While, of course, the masses have made up their minds ihai Pointer’s chances for lowering his record of 1:53^ are better than are Patch-en’s for lowering the two-minute mark, it is nevertheless surprising to note the number of people who are “pulling” for the game son of^Patchen Wilkes. As now arranged Star Pointer will start about o clock, and it is the Durpose to Have Joe Patchen make his trial agains; time immediately thereafter.The programme for tomorrow is a rich one. Thf? is true also of every day in the week, for such fields of horses have never before been gathered together, but the events T _ . for tomorrow, even outside the Pointer andInd., *.e«pt. 26.—The Dan- j Patchen specials, are rare ones. There areyesterday filed its report |twency en:ries for the 2:17 trot, and it willtake three heats about 2:12 to carry off themoney. Among the more favored ones areOtavia, Geddes, Eagle Flanagan, WoodfordC., Philonides, lt;Surpal and Jack Dawson.Then comes the Sidewheeler 2*18 pacingstake for $5,000, in which local interest isenhanced by reason of the fact that of thepossible winners two are owned in TerreHaute.

It has been thought that as Wednesday is a sort of “betwixt day it would be better to make it rather than Friday, the general closing day., M«'or Ross and the other city authorities bare a rare chance to endear themselves to the hearts of our citizens and to create a pleasing impression ef the city that Is sure to last for many a day.
