TROTTING TRACK AT SCIO
J.H. Clark, Esq., of Scio, has begun the construction of a half-mile trotting track on the farm lately purchased by him of Stephen Rogers, a mile below Scio village. The
track has two parallel sides each 219 feet long, joined at the ends by a semi-circle curve having a radius of 2351/2 feet. The track is 33 feet wide. We learn from Mr. Groton, who surveyed
it, that the grades on it are easy, and that the soil is a light sandy loam. Mr. Clark has some of the finest horses in the country; and we believe the track is to be constructed mainly
for his own private use.
