leaders Mt an astonishing rate. Grey Ned.

When the horses were called for the

To-DAY's PROGRAMME.
The programme for to-day is n large one
and the horses to start are good racers.
The postponed trotting event will be the
first feature and will no doubt draw an
unusually large crowd. A great many are
interested i'm the result. Ilton is the fa-
vorite, and should the horse do more trot-
ting md less running he will probably
win the race. Minnie's Almont has n
great many admirers who believe the
horse will win handily IL feeling all right
to-day. Grey Ned has good license to win
however, and Uncle Toby is not out of
the race by any means. The remainder
of the programme is:
