LIBERTY. The races that took place at the
Georges River Trotting Park were satisfac-
tory to the small concourse of people pres
ent. but must have been very unsatisfactory
to the management and stockholders. The
day was good, the track was good, the field
OF horses was good, the races were good and
the people wtre good; but oh, so few in
number. Less than six hundred tickets
were sold. while two thousand were sold at
Unity Thursday. although this is the better
track, always has better field of horses.
and has better races. The people are begin
ming to ask, why is this thus? There may be
other reasons, hut we have but one to give
which is this, the management has seen fit
Tor the past two years to ignore the Press
and the Press has ignored the races and
| they have not been advertised. People liy-
ing within a mile of the track did not know
OF it, and one person living in its immediate
vicinity who had a horse to enter learned of
it first at the Monroe fair. I enclose score
card handed me by friend. THE winners
were Keno L. in the 2 80 Glass; Harry L. in
the 81 class; St. Patrick in the $50 class |.
