SECOND DAY.

There werp not S3 many people on the course to-day as on the first day. Many of the settlers, no doubt, were busy harvesting. The bookmakers could not have done much, as the betting was not spirited. Two of the totalisators seemed to have done a better trade to-day than yesterday. The other two, however, shut up shop. Some of the games at chance were well patronised, aud much money, no doubt, lost and won. Mr Hill, the secretary, and stewards T°re meht attentive to their duties. Mr Storey, th« starter, had gieat trouble to get the hortes away together, but he succeeded, and gave great satisfaction.
