Yesterday. The attendance swampcd the record
OF the previous day, itself a breaker OF high

the evening assembly was bigger than the total
Of the two day sessions. Before the afternoon

A particularly fine exhibit opened the after

stations pranced into the ring. and the audience,
consulting the programme, saw that they were
looking at such equine stars rs STEAMBOAT, Ma

At least three of tho drivers were famous

was handled by John A. Goldsmith OF the Gold

and the redoubtable Fatty Bates. As usual. Mr..

them. He deserved the applause too.
for there can be no doubt of his ability as a
