The great feature this year'will be the racing and the two $«00 stake races will go with at least fifteen starters in each race. Horses are arriving at Crown Point from every point of the compass and they are coming so fast that it is necessary to build new stables this week. At least a hundred horses will be entered. The night show or carnival will alilo be a feature. The amusements consist of a great fireworks display nightly, band concerts, free acts by a dozen of the best artists in the country, and midway attractions. A great crowd from this vicinity is preparing to go. The stake races are scheduled for Thursday and Friday. John Duvall, of this city, has Hattie Vest entered in the 2:24 trot stake for Thursday, August 24th.
