way. There has been found an abundance of Birds

meeting has been harmonious one. and the spec
tators followed the dogs to the number Of hundreds
each day.
The entries this year were four in the Puppy
Stakes, twenty three in the All Aged and five in the
Brace. Next year. from the suspicious opening the
club has had 1t is believed the entries in the ALI

and entries will bo received $50 those coming
first will be the gamers.
