The local correspondent of the Refereo writesTho lute favorable weather has been a boon to trainers all over tho province, and they liavo been busily engagod in putting strong work into their charges..

Referring to tho short number of nonir inations for % Island Bay Spring meeting an occasional correspondent to tho Referee saysßacing is the same qs all other "shows" and needs running. Choese paring in the matter of advertising, is, iu my opinion, the maddest economy ever resorted to. LetStowards of racorineetinga remember what the Yankee said-" you niust advertise or bust."
