Tho programme was a big one, and owing to the fact that there was never more than one event ou at a.' time—the jumping events were not sandwiched in between the flat races, as is usually done—it took a long time to put through the meeting, which lasted well over three hours. .Mr. P. Wilson, well known as a harrier and a track runner for a number of years, was the director of the meeting, and Mr. T. W. Leslie was the starter. At the conclusion of the sports Mr. Lcn J.
