The weather conditions have been
very bad for the past three matinccs
which has prevented many owners
from racing their horses and which
has made it very unpleasant for the
spectators and it is hoped that we
will be more favored in this respect
in the future when more horses will
be on hand and Il larger number will
be in attendance to witness the sport.
