THE LADIES TURNOUTS.
The ladies' turnout class was very
snowy. There was little doubt IN ing
minds of the spectators as to who should
have the blue ribbon in this class.
Mrs Albert Young's Act-a-Bit was
superb. He was driven by Mrs Dteterek

Gently in black. Against the dark back
ground of her superblv finished carriage
