A FINE DAYS SPORT.
a,,,,an ali around it was the best

long time on the Fair Ground race
track. A goodly number OF peoplS
were there to see it,not the great crown
that usually fills the grand stanu oll
Wednesdays and Thursdays. OUT {use
enouoh to keep the enthusiasm allVe
and allow freedom OF actloh anu
good view TO all. ~.
one unusual feature. but one which
sbonld not be unusual, was the superb
management of the programme Dy
the Judges. For the first time in my
remembrance there were no disputes,
almost interminable delays anu I'M
satisfactory starts. The management
this wear is excellent and no UNI
nIeasant occurrences married the flne
racing. All the races We're trotted on
time and strictly according to the
rules. The officers this year are: w. d.
Carter. of Richmond Times, starter
w p. Bachelor, of Raleigh, and MT.
Levi. of Louisville, time-keepers, ana
II II Murray and w. C. McMackln
iudres. Mr.. Win Green is secretary.
IT Is tolerably safe to say that the
races will be equally as good to-day as
they were yesterday-they could hard
~ he better. so far as general interest
IN them is concerned. The programme
given below certainly promises Well.
