The work of reconstructing the Fair Grounds is rapidly reaching completion ambut few minor details remain for the workmen to finish. On opening day it will take rank with any racing plant in the country. The City Iark track has also been spruced up and turf patrons will find that their comfort has amply been cared for. Some -trepidation is being felt over the stringency of ready money, but it is thought that the sport will in no way suffer by tills, as most of the race following will consist of northerners, and they will probably put enough ready cash into circulation to carry the meeting through for some time, or until available cash can bo had from tlie local hanks and other similar institutions away from here. There is some talk that clearing house certificates will also be accepted by the bookmakers, but conditionally that the bettor accepts clearing house certificates as payment should he present a winning ticket.
