wise than the greatest attendance inI
the history OF the association, proyid-i
ed, of course, that the elements are

Representatives OF tie racing de-

the excellence of the track, the ease,
of access to the city and a host Of
other considerations make the local
racing programme one OF superior at
traction to the man with a good string
of horses.
Besides these regular features
which are always e5prlnctpa1 ones on
