The 1000 people who attended the cours.
ing at Agricultural park yesterday saw
some Of the prettiest races Of the year. The
band seemed to have that tired feeling
again, and played with less dash and spirit
than usually characterizes their work. II
seems. strange that the Seventh regiment
boys would be willing to furnish such
music when everybody knows they can dc
better.
There were many surprises, the most
notable being when Little Cripple won the
course from the champion little crack-a-

end OF the field and Gripping herself badly.
