They must mean business as a cer- tifled check of $2,600 is posted as evidénce of good faith, For more than 40 years this track has been one of the most famous in the country. Time there was when horse trot- ting was a popular pastime here- abouts, There used to be a track in the northeastern section of Plain- ville, known as Ryder's trotting park. Also, there was another down toward the Southington line. Right here in New Britain too, there used to be a track down back of SBunnyledge. And in the winter Franklin Square, from Main street to the High school, was a speedway for horse and sleigh trotting, some good races having been pulled off there. Frank T.

Mrs, Harding was said to have showan only the slightest effect of fatigue from the 16 hour journey, and her im« proved health was further shown by the fact that she walked through the station to the automobile at the en- trance whereas on leaving she was driven direct to the private car in the rallroad yards. = The president is taking up the im- portant matters before him with the intention of disposing of as many of them as possible in the next two months in order to clear the way for the proposed western trip.

Rosenberg was picked up by the Chicago White Sox, mere!y as a pros- pect. The failure of Eddle Collins and Ernie Johnson to report made it nec- essary that Gleason use some of his subs in the first spring meeting be- tween the Giants and White Sox. Rosenberg played like a veteran in the fleld and came through with three hits. Whether or not the youngster is retained throughout the season, it is certain a string will be tied to him for fall delivery. Conpe 3795 Al prices |. o, b, Toledo , R. C.
