and drizzly, and so continued until

under the circumstances to look after their
| interests in this direction, and failed to put
in an appearance. To make bad matters
worse, the track had been heavily wet
down the night before, to improve its con
| dition, and were the showers to continue
any length of time the track will lie too
| heavy for use. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks, however, by PM a good crowd
| had assembled. The Society decided that
the races should come off according to
programme. By o'clock the clouds broke
away, and the prospects are good for clear
weather tomorrow.

| race, selling, purse $500, entrance free, one
