agreeable day OF the meeting. A heavy rain set In

postpouemcnt as the meeting at Richmond Hill begins
ON Tuesday next and the horses must bo shipped for
that point tomorrow. The meeting has not been a
success so attendance is concerned, and there
has been very lttlc betting in the pools Tho races
have not been we'll managed, at least they have
no: given satisfaction except 10 the parties i'm
media,cly interested, because OF tho changing Of
the favoritesn the pools just before start and
horses coming in winners which many beloved could
not win in a squarely race. This, however, may
have been bcyond tho control OF tho management but
Il has caused much dissatisfaction. Tho
regular programme was gone through with to-day,
except the sccplcchase as II was impossible for the
horses 10 run the lower end Of the inner field, be-
cause the mud was moist and more than foot deep,
while its slippery condition made II absolutely danger
GUS 10 attempt make tho leaps. and that raco was
declared of.
