To-DAY's PROGRAMME.
The "Blue Ribbon" meeting has been
brilliant success, and the racing fur
nished has been of high class. This
afternoon the meeting will be brought
to close, and one of the finest pro-
grammes ever contested on the track
will take place. The days sport will
Include with the 2 rs pacing. The con-
testants are Silkhood, Acrobat and Rory
O'Moore. The Citrus handicap will be
confessed by Marigold, Randolph and
Captain AL.
These horses meet on much more even
terms than ever before and hot con-
test can be expected. TheJunior Handi-
cap will bring together slashing lot of
two-year-olds. Peri has been weighted
at one hundred and sixteen pounds,
and there are many who think that she
will be unable to pack such weight to
victory against field that includes
Santa Ana, Bessie Barnes, Mystery,
Nero, Lathrop Belle. Nero looks to
have more than fighting chance and
Santa Ana should be in the hunt. Bessie
Barnes is also liable to be heard from,
while Lathrop Belle is an unknown
quantity. The last event on the card is
the 2 :35 trot. The starters are LARGO,
Leonor, Pendennis, Jim and Dick Rich
mond. This will be another hard
fought battle. The biggest crowd OF
the season is expected this afternoon.
The first race will be called at one
O'Clock sharp.
