Tuesday, the opening day of the

recent rains had soaked we'll into the
ground, and the track was in excel
lent condition. Long before the gong
sounded for the starters in the first
race to make ready, the grand stand
was we'll filed, the attendance being.
over five hundred, about one-foarth of
whom were women. The races were
exciting and the horses were all we'll
handled
