Lady Islington . attended in the afternoon, and was an interested spectator of four events. Music was supplied by members of the Wellington Professional Orchestra. Eight bookmakers were. licensed, and the sum of £5682 was put trough the totalisator. Results: — JUVENILE HANDICAP, 140sovs., five furlongs.
