The races begin to-day at 2 P. u. sharp, rs
there are two trotting matches, and it is prob
able they will consume the entire afternoon.
The seats on all the stands during the spring
meeting are free and the general admission to
the grounds 80 cents ladies free. 1t may be
ss well that the attention of the man
sgenent be called publicly to the fact,
that yesterday the seats were not
swept or busted. and were in condition
liable to damage good clothing, and were gem
orally complained OF on that account. II
they are not clean to-day there can be no suf
ficient excuse offered. So long as the course
Is provided with . good black board there can
be no reasonable excuse, either, for not p1sting
the names. positions and colors of the horses.
the lIStcEuaJ tulc was uOb
done, and most Of the people on the stand
were unable to place the horses. The result
was an angry chorus of calls to men on the
quarter-stretch to give the people up aloft
the desired information. Racing experts and
horsemen are too much given to acting on
the supposition that every one is as well
posted as they are, and as able to recognize
horses. The truth is that not ten persons in
the grand stand yesterday knew Night
Hawk from Boots, or Boots from Atlanta, or
Atlanta from May D, when they came on
the track nor in the absence of programmes,
did the sex of the animals enlighten them as
TO the name or ownership, nor did the
judges deign to post the information, or even
to declare them from the stand, but gave the
positions to the riders privately. It is prom
isad that hereafter the desired information
shall be given in detail on the bulletin
board provided. The races to-day ought
to draw q large company. The programme
is an attractive one, and the promise is for an
afternoons excellent entertainment The
first race will be q trot OF the ) minute class,
for $3.50. between Wilbur Smiths entry Of
