To him the press representatives owe more than a^little for many courtesies. * | Competition in the various evnts was keen, and this applied specially to the trotting events, in which the finishes ■were good and close, especially in the Consolation Race, which was won by a short head by A. J. Corrigan^ There were many fine horses entered and much good form was showm Tremendous interest centred round the Farmers' Trptting Eaee.
