We had one of the most delightful days for the
sport that we have had during the meeting, and
the track was fine and fast. Quick running was
anticipated, but no, so fast as was made. The
quickest two miles ever run In this country was
done to-day by True Blue There were three
| events on the card-the first dash Of mile, then
two-mile dash and afterwards a hurdle race OF
two miles over eight hurdles AL the favortes
