All hope for next week's races now hinges on the weather. If this is good the fall races of the Trotting association will go on record as the best of the en tire year, north, east, sonth or west. If bad, then the expectations of every horseman in attendance as well as thous ands of interested residents will be demolished completely, Otherwise there is nothing wanting to assure the greatest success. Plenty of interest, unexcelled lists of entries, big purses, and at present a magnificent track. Much rivalry between drivers has been engendered, and the fight, will truly be one for blood. See the display announcement of the association in this Issue for a few of the details of what ui&y be looked forward to. Now let everybody hope for a week of fine weather.
