In addition to these there are about seventy more horses on their way here, and v.hpn tho last shipment arrives ar-rives It will bring the total of thoroughbreds thor-oughbreds nt the local track close to two hundred and fifty. Trainers woro busy all yesterday morning at the fair grounds -track gal-i gal-i loping and exercising thoir charges J over the superb course, and. It waa tho generally expressed opinion among . the horsemen that tho track is one 1 ct the best and fastest half-rollc tracks (. Jn the country. Some oven went fur- ther and declared that for fanltlcas-( fanltlcas-( ncfis of construction the Ogden track i Is without a rival. ( All speak In the highest torme of l the course, and one trnluer was heard j to remark that ho would rather raoe ' his horses over H than any other track west of Denver. Be that as it may. the track undoubtedly un-doubtedly Is In tip top condition aDd according to reliable judges It could J hardly be improved upon. Track Superintendent Su-perintendent C. P. Dye, has been at work on It all summer and ho has Drought It to a state of perfection, that ono seldom finds elsewhere. What particularly appeals to the horsemon is tho beautiful way In which the turns are banked, insuring safety to the fields and reducing tho chances of accidents to a minimum. Track In Fine Shape. Tho track has been harrowed and rolled and Is now as fast as It is possible pos-sible to make it, and as a result track records are bound to go a glimmering after tho speed marvels get accustomed accustom-ed to the half mile circuit- Most of the horses now quartered at the track have been racing oa mllo track3 all summer, but It will not take them very' long to extend themselves oa thd smaller course. Tho local track re-cord for the four furlongu was created by Fore last spring. when the Irwin horse ran tho distance in 0;4S, lowering the previous recoil made by Booger Red. It would not b1' at all surprising if the records for all distances went by the boards brorc the closo of the meeting, the siting horsemen declare. New Betting Ring. After Inspecting ihe place under the st;ud formerly used as a betting rin:c, Manager Dwyer decided that It was hardly commodious enough to serve the purpose at the meeting, and immedintfv made arrangements for the construction of a new betting ring on the outside and to the right of the grandstand. Workmen wens soon at work on the new structure, and it Is expected that It will be all teady by opening day. The new betting bet-ting shed w 111 - provo .t boon to the public and bookmakers alike, and will be appreciated by those having business busi-ness there. Divide the Grand Stand.
