Third Day of the Capital Turf Clubs

heat from becoming disagreeable. The |
| iudees' stand was occupied by Fred. |
Collier. J. McNasser and G. J. Carpenter.
H. NJ. Bernard acted as Starting Judge.
| Timers-A. L. Frost Chris. Green and j.
| D. Young The days programme included |
nothing but running races.
