The classes for Memorial day will
consist of the following: 2.15 pace
or 2:11 trot, 2:22 pace or 2:18 trot,
and a 2:25 trot. The purses for all
these races will be $300 in each in
stance. The entries which closed May
20 have not been announced by Sec
retary Graham but it has been ascer
tained that the classes filled better
than was anticipated and that good
fields and close finishes will be the
order of the day.
A special class will be made for
the members of the Hartford Road
Drivers’ club, making four classes in
all and necessitating calling the
horses for the first race at 1 o'clock.
Special trolley accommodations are
being arranged from Hartford and
Springfield and the jitney drivers of
Hartford are planning on taking part
in the greatest, automobile stampede
that the season will know. The dis
tance from the center of Hartford to
the track at station No. 21 on the
Harford-Springfield line is less than
six miles, making an easy trip for
the machines.
