The races this afternoon were witnessed
BY about 1000 people. They were qpiIe
interesting, although on account OF the
absence Of rules tue judges could rot satisfy
the large crowd - well as they otherwise
could hsve done, and there were many
vexAt'ous delays and much bad msns se-
ment on the part Of some of the drivers,
which would hsve been promptly punished
had the Judges been sustained by the
National rules. Summaries Of the two
races troited are given:
