Show HEM FOnilE WORD All Preparations for the June Meeting at the Driving Park Com-'. Com-'. pleted. IT WILL BE A GEAMD AFFAIR. Many of the Kings of the Turf H;tve Been ' Entered and Are at the : Stables. If the mau w ho controls the weather will keep the elements in check next week, Salt Lake City will be giveu one of the bust race meetings in her history. Beginning with Monday the June races will bo on, anil it is expected that they will be suflicienlly close and exciting to last through until Saturday. The several sev-eral classes, trotting, pacing and running, run-ning, have been tilled with more than usual numbers, aud the galaxy represents repre-sents many of the speedy and noted horses of the turf. Big purses have been hung, aud the rivalry for the lirst aud second. monies will be of a lively aud highly entertaining character. char-acter. Famed drivers will hold the ribbons over the contestants, and some good time may be looked for. Everything is iu readiness at the track for llie grand event, and the grounds present a cheerful and pleasing pleas-ing appearance. The stables are all filled with handsome and valuable animals, ani-mals, which are cared for and zealously watched witli as much concern as a mother would her babe. Horsemen gather about the stalls and enumerate the good qualities of the speeders, and make predictions as to the possible chances of this or that horse coming under the time when the sport begins. Night and morning tho horses arc taken to the track for a spin, and several lively brushes arc indulged iu. When twenty or more horses are thus engaged, the sight is an animated one and does the hearts of the thorough horsemen good. The management, anticipating a large attendance, have made all the necessaay arrangements for the care and comfort of their patrons. The grand stand has been thoroughly renovated reno-vated and looks bright and inviting in its new dress of paint. The track itself is in prime shape, and has been rolled and scraped. every day until it is as smooth as a new laid floor, and is considered quite fast. The refreshment refresh-ment booths have also been overhauled and improved, and will this year be in charge of Charles Nelson. Up to noon today fifty horses had arrived ar-rived at the stables, ami twenty more were expected beforo night. The animals ani-mals are all represented as being in good form, and their friskiness and general appearance would indicate that they were. There is only one reported sick among them, and that is Birdie M., tho properly of "Colorado" Jones. Her illness, however, is not considered serious, and it is to be hoped that the- speedy little marc will be in shape to start in the free-for-all. Birdie is a general that speculators are advised to keep their eyes upon. He is a sorrel stallion, and recently iu a milo and one quarter dash kicked the dust iuto the eyes of his competitors iu 2:00. H. L. Kendall promises to make it highly entertaining for all that start in the '34 and '85 classes with his t wo daisies, Black Bird and Riley K.

Mr. Dyer's Florence It is entered in tho '20 and '27 classes, and as she has a mark of "Ml made in Oakland, Oak-land, California, she is favorably looked upon as a possible winner next week.

Ho is a stallion, six years old, aud this is his lirst year- as a public runner. His name is down for tho live-eights of a mile strife, and as ho starts in without a record the patrons of the pool box are giving him some attention.
