CROMWELL JOCKEY CLUB

FIRST DAY OF MEETING ' MARY PRATT PRINCIPAL WINNER. (Special to Daily Times) CROMWELL, March 13. The Cromwell Jockey Club|s annual meeting was opened to-day in ideal weather. The attendance was on a par with last year, the gate being down £4, but this was more than balanced by the increased membership. In spite of three three-horse races and a very bis: dividend in the first trot, the totalisator handled £2027. against £2174 last year. The trackwas in good order, although somewhat dusty as the day wore on, and despite the small fields some of the finishes were very close. The prospects are for fine weather on Saturday and improved fields. Following are the results: — GOLDFIELDS HACK HANDICAP. Of 50sovs, Six furlongs. 5 _W.
