 As was the annual custom, there were to be four races-a dash from the end of the hotel veranda to the first of the group of cottages beyond, approximately a hundred yards; d hurdle race over the same course; a race twice around the big hotel with its streamer of cottages stretching out in a straight line on either side, which race, by courtesy was known as the half mile;" and then, in the after noon, the long race down the winding, shell road to the Village and back, a little less than two miles in all.
