Program Promises.

G This incinerating dog-dav weather has no
terrors for the Gentlemau's Roadster cluo.
Its semi -moathly matinee came of at the fair
grounds course yesterday afternoon in the
presence of fair crowd OF spectators, many
OF whom were ladies. rho grandstand was
moderately well filied, but the quarter-stretch
was Conspicuous only for the ABSENCE Of the
customary assemblage Of gay cquipages that
have heretofore graced its level sward. Quite
q number OF turnouts, however, did put In an
appearance before the program reached an
end. Those who love to witness the per-
formances Of mans noblest friend, the horse,
would rather do so from under the umbra-
geous shadows offerandstand or shade tree,
and prefer to take no risks in two hours
broil under Old Sols fierce rays. The men,
bers OF the club, however, are made OF the
hardest material, and rain or shine they are
always on hand. Tho hot days of midsum-
mer have no effect on them, other than to
seemingly increase their enthusiasm and
spur them On to greater efforts than ever.
