ANNOUNCEMENT. 



THE best proof of the increasing value of these works is to be found in the 

 fact that each year the Supplement contains more matter than for the year pre- 

 ceding. The 1884 Supplement had 140 pages ; that for 1885, 165 pages ; that 

 for 188-3, 176 pages ; that for 1887, 185 pages, while the present Supplement 

 comprises 203 pages. This increase of volume is not because of more races being 

 trotted or paced, but because of improved methods and vigilance in gathering 

 news. Every purchaser of the Supplement for 1888 will receive, gratis, a pam- 

 phlet containing, in alphabetical order, the names of the dams of all trotting 

 and pacing performers, with reference to their produce, as they appear in the 

 pages of Chester's Complete Trotting and Pacing Record. 



The price of the works is now fixed as follows, there being the parent vol- 

 ume of about 1,000 pages, bound in half Turkey morocco, complete to the close 

 of 1883, and supplements for each of the years 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, and 1888:
