More than a hundred horses have arrived since Fri-
day last, and there is every prospect of an excellent
meeting. The trains to-day have brought in a con-
siderable accession of visitors, and the town is likely to
be quite full.
Hay and corn consicerations were chiefly productive
of the sport this afternoon, most of the winners being
liable to be sold according to the terms respectively
specified. The weather was clear, sunny, and bracing,
until just before the race for the Criterion, when the
sky became thickly overcast, the wind blew keenly, and
a smart shower fell until the race was over.
The above details will show that Rifleman missed the
mark, and was beaten two lengths from the Cruiser,
who ran the winner in to a neck.
Recent rains have brought the running ground into
first-rate condition.
