The racing programme for the day, which
promised SO finely, became disarranged. 1t
had developed that in No. II, running
handicap, Jim Brown was sick, Norfolk was
lame, Connor was sold, and that Leinster
had been put out of training, being found in
competent as racer. This left only Fred.
Collier to make walk.over. Then in No. Is,
running stake, for three-year-elds, mile and
repeat, Norfolk, Brown. Collier and Douglass
were the entries, leaving but Douglass to
make the walk-over, as Collier had to go in
the two miles and a quarter. Nos. II and Is
were therefore practically eff. The disap-
pointment of the people was great, but no
more so than that of the management, which
was, however, helpless in the premises. 1t
did its best to remedy the breakup of
the racing programme. by offering
special purse, and it filed as follows
Special running, half-mile and repeat, for
$500; free entrance; first money $3.50, sec
ond $50. 9. Thomas names b. m. Armida

turned out subsequently that the afternoon
was full Of sport, after all, and there was
very fair racing day.
