was in attendance, and the m%ellifiuous
strains OF it's choicest selections fioated
through the grand stand and the people in

wings from the pine-clad hills to the east.

body had money-even the pickpockets, as
not one case by the gentry was reported.
Betting at the pool boxes was brisk among
the men; betting in the grand stand was
brisk among the ladies, while
over in the far corner of the stand the
bootblacks were seen to swap jack-knives
and chewing gum after o Of the heats in
