The scene at the course yesterday wa
an inspiring one. As early as 6 o'clocl
there were several hundred people at th,
track watching the exercise and durin
the day nearly thousand persons wen
out to watch the flyers and get whateye
tips they could. The best work was don
in the early morning and some excellen
time was made.
It is expected that with the additiona
stables which will arrive to-day that owe
400 horses will be at the track.
The gathering of steeplechasers is th
largest ever seen in this section. Tn
number of jumpers is not only large, bu
the horses are top nOtchers, and thes
events promise to be extraordinarily goot
The first race will be called at o cloc
each day. The trains leave the Sxtl
street depot at convenient intervals an
everything points to highly successfl
meeting.
