F. Mark and an able ; staff, while some really interesting sport was I witnessed,' and nothing occurred to mat the pleasure of the. outing. A choice programme of music, provided by Burnnand Professional Orchestral Band, contributed much to the afternoon's enjoyment, Mr. H. Davey, chief stipendiary steward, was in attendance, but found nothing of noto connected with the racing to call for inquiry. Not one ' actual favourite won during the afternoon, though no less than four second ' iancies caught the judge's eye. A good double-figuro dividend was returned by Brown's Afinsget, when the son of Harold Dillon won the Cornwall Handicap, while an even better return would havo been registered had Huon Qrattan captured the principal event As it was, his supporters re- ] ceived the second best return of the afternoon when he finished second.
