This is the first meeting held since the half-holiday was changed to Saturday and urnler the circumstances there was a pood attendance. All winners were well supported. Lady Appellant and Ballymoney paid good prices. Heavy showers during last night and this morning made (he course soft at ■the commencement, but as the weather improved, and with tho exception of a few light showers remained fine, the course hardened. An innovation was the installation of / a totalisator dividend indicator and this proved of. gi'eat assistance to investors. Tho totalisnfor handled £6152 10s, as compared with £5957 for the first day of the last spring meeting, an increase of £460 10s. Results: SPRING PLATE, Of £00; special weights; fi fur. . I_I—VALRENT.
