SPRING MEETING COMMENCED

SOME FINE RACING

rA LARGE ATTENDANCE.

The threatening morning did not materially affect the attendance at Trentham, for a large crowd journeyed out by road and train. As could only be expected, tho rain of the past twentyfour hours had undone tho good work on the course and enclosures of the four line days earlier in the week. The course was. slightly^ holding when racing commenced, but will . soon improve if no more rain falls. '

The following are the details of the racing up to the time "The Post" went to press :—
