stand everywhere and seemed thoroughly

crowd yet In attendance nj b races was
present and the grand stand was crowded
TO its fullest. II was truly q racing day
and the weather was fine. The sun sbone
bright and warm and hardly a breath Of
wind was stirring throughout the after
noon, making the day a most agreeable
one. The C were excellent and
well contested from beginning 10

fakirs and gamblers with their fortune
wheels and other games that entice money
from the unwary, are barred from the
track is favorably received and the man
agement is entitled TO b thanks of the
public.

fact that kismet and Red Elm run a hot

groans were heard from the hackers OF
