The racing w.i's 41 gain interesting, but some of the fields were so small as to seriously affect the totaiisator investments, although the figures reached within '£B6 of the pre vious day's total. The programme of music played 'by the Garrison Band daring the two days of the meeting was first-class, and added considerably to the enjoyment of patrons not completely absorbed in, the racing, The arrange- j mentt, of the secretary and officii:*! were Again capital, and the meeting was -.inmarred by a single protest.
