■' „ Probabilities of To-day. To a certain extent »he C.J.C meeting has been saved by ' the . shipping of thirty horses on Thursday night, but despite this reinforcement the meeting is likely to sag- '.heavily- after Monday and runners will be scarce for the two last diys. , .v! ' . The events , wJilch brought .about this state of affairs; ; ire to be deplored, but no good end : will be serveU by discussing them here, slo for all concerned "Spearmint" will "endeavor to find a -winner or two and thus make : the layers ? disgorge some. ot. their 111- ! gotten gains.
