A new clubhouse and a picturesque paddock, built In tho center of a grove of trees, make this particular part of the course the most attractive of any of the tracks on the Canadian circuit. Several substantial-looking stables have been erected on the ground that the club acquired last fall, and many other improvements have been made looking to the comfort of horsemen and public. There is an abundance of racing material here, including nearly all of the stables that raced at Fort Lne, with the exception of a few that left for Saratoga. In addition, there have been numerous arrivals from Latonla. A strong string of racers owned by It. L. Thomas has been here since the close of Hamilton: also those of Amos Turnev. W. H.
