This finished the day's sport, and it
was grand success in every particular.
The managers of the field day races are
to be congratulated ON their succees.
The crowd was all that could be ex-
pected. There was one festure, how
evor, that was plain to be seen,
that there was too much difference
given in the handicap bicycle races.
There was not one race won by the
"scratcher," but in several races the
scratcher pulled out when be- saw there
was too much odds against him. Burke
and Fox are fine wheelmen and did
some fine riding, and some of our Orange
county boys are not so slow when il
comes to time.
The blue rock shoot WAS going ON
during most of the races. and it was inn
possible for US to get the score from this
part of the sport.
B. Bastion took the steamer Mexico
today at Newport Tor the mldwinter fair,
to be gone several days.
