While the attendance should have been
far larger considering the attractions Of

that this was the initial meeting. Had
it not been for enthusiastic outsiders,
however, the association would now be
looking for the wherewith to pay their
purses. AS it is, they will come out
ahead.
The races themselves were more than
the management expected. Excellent
horses were entered and the contc st S
were as exciting as one usually sees on

The first race of the meet was a three

five were Sun Ell, Il black horse owned
by Hull of Pipestone, Martiene, a Min
