The second days races, on Wednesday,
were but SHINY attended. The afternoon
was cloudy and chilly and the weather
rather unfavorable for out of door sport.
There was considerable excitement
throughout the races, however, mainly
from the fact that the horses who had sold
as favorites in the pools were badly beaten
except IN one instance, while considerable
controversy was rife over the running of
the winners on the track This combined
to keep the excitement at fever heat
throughout the .. so race and good many
who were largely interested in the pools
were greatly dspleascd and disappointed.
A good deal of money changed hands by
the result in both races.
