large number of ladies attended the
races in the afternoon.
kent's Military band was in attendance
and rendered some very familiar tunes.
Business affairs Decessitsted Secretary
Fell to leave the city yesterday. Colonel
A: B. Hays was selected TO act in his ca
pacity while absent.
The official programme and score card is
miserably botched affair Many of the
names are wrong, and taking the whole
thing into consideration it is very poorly
gotten up.
The stand erected for the use of the
newspaper reporters in the amphitheatre
is miserable construction. Il some of the
members of the association were compelled
TO sit behind il and make an effort to hear the
decision of the judges, against the wind, as
is sometimes necessary. perhaps that in
the vernacuar of the street they would
take tumble and place the reporters
headquarters on the opposite side of the
street, where they belong.
