the ropes which encompassed the
track. Men, women and children,
mostly of Chinese extraction, enjoyed
the games and applauded their IA
vorites.
The weather at times looked threat

annoying delay, it enables certain
few to farm the events and discour-
ages the efforts of a great many of
the entrants.
