The moo at Weymouth have long been the one great
sporting event of the year for this district, and they
have invariably supplied a Capital programme for those
who delight in the sport and are learned in the
mysteries thereof, whlle the meeting affords ample
enjoyment for those hapless individual' to whom
racing per se is a thing of naught, and betting an
abomination. ,The good management which has dis-
tinguished the Weymouth meeting year alter year, has
plaited it in a high position amonget the rasing events of
the seamen ; the period at which they are fixed is
opportune, for it doe* not clash with any other important
meeting; while, jest at thls time, Weymouth Itself is
maculated to attract the frequenters of race meetinp
from such bland gathering, as Derby, Doncaster, Ist.,
although, probably, the latter pin.., at any rate, would
afford equal siert.
The pmeent meeting held out attractions beyond any
which have proceeded it. The committee, animated by
past encase, determined this year to make • further
effort to provide a good programme. With this view,
they enlarged the sphere of their operation, changing
the title of the meeting to " Weymouth and Domes
County Races," to embrace the new district. annexed.
This movement has been appreciated in the county.
The appeal made for subscriptions meta liberal response,
and showed that the committee, in adding to the pro-
gramme of former years two more stakes of £lOO each,
did not misplace their confidence.
The fixture for the present meeting was for Tuesday
and Wednesday last, and, as usual, Loolmoor was the
