the five events on the card for the third
day of the spring meeting OF the Wash

ing in the afternoon was fair weather, and
as the second race was run in miniature
snowstorm, there was no comfort save
when the excitement of finish caused
the blood to circulata. Between bugie
calls the crowd massed IA the betting ring
and grandstaud and stamped TO keep
warm. Despite the weather several hun
dred ladies were present and were re-
warded by the splendid contest in the
hurdle race.

nished three hours of good sport. 1t was
favorites' day, and these captured four Of
