order to furnish the report for this morn
iDg's paper:
The mile and a hall running race was
postponed till to-day at l o'clock, at
which time, the judges say, it will promptly
take place. II the gentlemen at the gong
would adopt Judge Wsbb's tacticts-read
the riot act to the drivers and Jockeys for
their monkey work-there would be less
delay between races, and necessity of post
one days race to that OF another
would also be avoided. h
