AT THE RACES

WINTER MODES. The morning of the second day of lhe winter meeting broke with a depressing greyness of sky and atmosphere, which cleared a little before noon, but as the day advanced the threat of rain became stronger. Anxi ous eyes wen turned towards the large bank of black clouds, and soon tiro rain came down in heavy showers, and very few people ventured out from the grandstands. This state of affairs was all the more disappointing, w’hen the beauty of the first day’s meeting was remembered.
