Big ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY.
Grand Conclusion to a Week Of Most
Excellent Racing.
The Winners Were TOwanda, Ma
honey, Howard, Manchester
and Iron Jacket.

The spring meeting of the Capilal
Driving Association closed yesterday
With the largest crowd seen at ASrl-
cultural Park since the opening day
There must have been upward of 3,OoO
people present, and many persons put
The number much higher.
The card was an excellent one. The
fields were all so large as to make it
a difficult matter to guess the winner,
and races of this character always stim-
ulate betting 1t was like a day during
the State Fair-the crowd was as great
as on average fair days, and no livelier
betting was ever witnessed on the
grounds. From the way the coin flowed
in to the pool boxes one would not think
that hard times had ever been heard
of in this vicinity.
AS on previous days, the management
was excellent, and the directors of the
association may we'll feel proud of the
result of their venture.
The announcement was made that
under other auspices there will be
racing every day this week The events
will all be running, and each days
programme will embrace five races. La
