Judging by the attendance at the hrs'
week OF running races at Narragansett
park there will be about ten days added
90 the season so that the public may be
satisfied and IT'S sporting blood allowed
20 run 10 safety. The barometer or at
tendance indicated that after the rirst
day. owing 10 the heat there was just a
slight falling off in-the- attendance but
still far better than was expected ana
for the following days there was grad
ual increase until on Saturday there waS
the banner crowd OF the week with nearly
1000 on hand.
There was not an event on the cards last
OF the bookies had rather hard knocks.
hut not severe enough TO put them 20
the bad or 10 give them heart trouble.
This week the racing fever Is on 10
much greater extent and with the three
stake events enticing the best runners 90
the barrier there will be greater success
than ever and the judgment OF the mar
agement in bringing the runners mere VIII
have been amply justified
There was not event on the cards last
week that did not have its thrill O. cx-
citement for all the spectators, and the
way the horses started in the greater
proportion of the events was enough 10
satisfy the most fastidious sport. Soy
eral OF the events had hair splitting nm
ishes and thus were made more memoir
able for those who witnessed them.
In the events for today for the pub
lie there is an added incentive. owing
60 the fact that large proportion Of
the horses that started and many OF the
winners last week have been entered
Thus in addition TO the dope sheet to
be had from other sources, :he betting
public will he able 10 Judge and 10
place its money with far more safety
and surety than before
In the 6rst event for three year-olds
and upward there arc eight horses. Of
which the only ono is Fiji. Two Of the
starters were winners last week. one,
Lochinvar. won the Cranston stake. doing
the six furlongs I'm I'LL 3-5. All Of the
horses TO start have given show Of speed
and have not been far behind the winner
I'm events I'm which they started last week.
OF these Lochinvar may be counted on
for a place today, while. unless the track
proves heavy the fight will be between
Claude and Master OF Craft.
In the second event Rust. Pater and
Sunglow have each won their races, and
IL will be battle royal around the track
for these three thoroughbreds today, with
Blue Mamie. Ossineke and MI lighting II
out for the money.
The third race carries a large field OF
starters TO the barrier. among which are
several new ones, and 10 dope these cor
rectly will be the puzzle OF the sports.
That will be anybodys race, with the
fight for first between Mormon and Pink
Garter at the wire. The Wild Irishman
might be counted upon 10 show himself
in this race. but he has the bad habit oi
acting badly at the start and spelling his
chances for a win.
In the fourth race Interlight ought "a
win. though Speed<say and All Pink have
bright chances. Tnterlight ran n pretty
race last week and made the winner
hustle TO be in under the wire ahead OF
her.
The race Of the day will be the last one
on the card. Ike s.. Supreme Court,
Palette. st. Gallen. Enverite. have all
been in the money last week and may be
counted upon for showing this time

swiftest and IL will be a gallant ride for
the winning Jockey.
