WAS FINE SPORT.
Gentlemen's Trotters Please the
Talent, Though the Crowd
Did Not MateraIize.

Leaden colored clouds and the pros
poets OF rain reduced the attendance at
Yesterdays races Of the Gentlemen's 9
Driving club to the least number Of
persons yet present at the Driving
park meetings. The weather also pre-.
vented many owners from bringing
their horses to the track and small
fields resulted. However large num-
Der of horssmen were there and the
sport furnished was good
From grand stand point of view
the efforts Of the club to provide clean
and wholesome sport is appreciated,
but neither the racing nor the attend
ance will be what itshould be until the
waits between heats are reduced. Those
having a knowledge of the trotting
rules find little fault with tedious scor-
ing, because it cannot be prevented.
What the general public likes to see is
racing and when more of horse and
less of wait is given success will attend
the result
