Plan Another Meet.

Plan Another Meet.
Despite the failures Of many of the
officials to turn out, the races were
pulled off with a remarkable freedom
from disputes and wrangles. Horace
Lowry was the only regularly appointed
by S. NJ. Colburn, the chairman of the
racing committee.
Plans are already before the club for
another matinee on Saturday after
next. Some hot racing is promised at
that time, as many Of those who were
defeated yesterday are confident that
they could do better another time.
On the strength Of the Jackson s
showing in its exhibition mile, a party
of enthusiasts who foregathered at the
clubrooms last night have made up a
pool of $3.50 with which to back it
against any car Of it's class for any dis
lance from one to five miles.
