This afternoons races will begin
promptly ut $3.50. Cars will leave Terry
building at $40, SOC, 800 and $40. 4
most interesting programme has been
arranged. as follows: Quarter mile
open. half mile handicap open, half mile
boys handicap, half mile track record,
Roanoke county riders, one mile open,
one mile State record open, five miles
Roanoke county riders.
In addition, Mr.. Schade (plesse pro-
nounce shod-dy, although the gentlemen
is all wool and yard wide) will try to
reduce the unpaced State record for n
mile.
The handicaps arranged for to-day's
events will make the races much closer
aud more exciting. it is probable Fred
Schade will ride against tandem.
The management is greatly pleased to
see the number of ladies who attend. and
especially those..who come awbeel, for it
shows their great interest in this great
sport, which is recognized as an antidote
for most of the ills of mind and body.
WILL TRY FOR RECORDS.
