dries quickly.

the attendance has been excellent. There
were $500 present yesterday and the book
makers did a lively trade. AS the favor
ties captured four of the six races the
bookies did not find a large excess on the
profit side of the sheet when they bal
Rnced the cash at the close of the day.
The sport was fair. The entries were
not as numerous as on the first day, but
the losers had a good run for their money
as there was no trailing at the finish In
