ANNOUNCE THE AMERICAN TROTTING DERBY m W 1 Purse $50,000. i i To be Trotted at Readville Trotting Park, Aug. 25,1908 GRAND CIRCUIT MEETING A Handicap, dash race open to all trotters, in which the slowest horse will go a distance of one mile and one-quarter and be allowed 50 feet start by faster horses for each second's difference in speed, but no horse will be handicapped slower than up to a mile in 2:15.

It is a class for all trotters from 2:15 down to the fastest, and no horse entered will be out of his class. The handicaps, or speed allowances, will be announced on August 18. THE HANDICAPPING will be done by three experts, who will be selected for the
