WINTER TROTTING

SPORT AT ALEXANDRA PARK

Big Race to Terence Dillon

rE popularity of the Auckland Trotting Club’s Winter Meeting was again evidenced at Epsom this afternoon, a large attendance at Alexandra Park when the first race commenced shortly after eleven o'clock being further increased as tbe day progressed. As a result of light showers which put in an appearance early in the programme the track showed signs of holding during the running of the first few events.
