ANOTHER FAVORITES' DAY.
GOOD SPORT, BUT POOR PICKING FOR
THE sHoRT-ENDERs.

Third Day of the Spring Running Meet
ing-Four Contests and One
walk-Over.
There was much better attendance at
the races yesterday than on any previous
day of the meeting. and the crowd was
well entertained. 1t was, however, an
other day for the favorites, right through
the programme and those who attended
in the hope of pulling down big money on
small investments were doomed to disap-
pointment. The weather continued fine'
and everything passed off smoothly, with
the exception of the starting of the horses
in the fourth race. A field of nine faced
the starter, and couple of fractions beasts
neither of which had any business in
such company-pranced and cavorted
about the track for one full hour, much to
the disgust of everyone, including the
starter. There we're no less than twenty.
two fruitless attempts made to get the ami
mails off before the flag fell.
The Judges for the day were State Agri-
cultural Directors Green, Cox and Han
cock, while D. M. Burns, Clarence Water
house and j. w. Wilson held the watches.
