The management of the meeting throughout was firstcla®3, and the racing of the most enjoyable description. The fields were large, and the finishes very interesting, whilst the dividends were large, all testifying to the manner in which Mr J. E. Henrys had concealed the winners by his clever handicapping. Mr Edmund Goodbehere, the Becretary, and his fellow officials are to be congratulated on the record success attained.
