Among the amusements witness- ed in Berlin was an afternoon spent at the race horse grounds, situated a few miles from the great ’city. These were beautifully laid off with wondeni-ul club-house. stables atid grand-stalids. Pots of flowers in bloom decorated the in- fleld and made a pretty picture. The afternoon was devoted to har- ness horse racing. which is colt- ducted somewhat differently front our method. All the races are han- dicaps, the horses’ capacities-being pretty closely judged by ll.ll experi- enced hundicappcr. All the races, are one heat affairs, but the dis- tauce is usually front one and ‘on eighth and intermediate distance up to two miles. Nearly all the horses starting that afternoon were German bred, and they were very beautiful types and seuned per- fectly conditioned and ntanltcred.
