It was expected that the outbreak of spotted fever would adversely affect the attendance at the meeting, but there appeared to be as many as usual in the

(Mr. Johnstone)
The proceedings throughout were enliven ed by the band of the 25th Batt, of the Middlesex Regt., under Bandmaster L. Owen, and their selictions were highly appreciated.
Inside the Valley along the Golf Course side of the rails there were thousands of Chinese, who, as usual, deemed to get a great deal of excitement and enjoyment from the sport, while the temporary stands between the entrance to the on closure and the Golf Club house were packed with a seething mass of humani ty. Special precautions were taken to prevent dust carrying any infection; and the enclosure and approach thereto were periodically sprayed with water, while the passage-ways below the stands where the people crowded to pay away and receive money were sprayed every hour
with disinfectant.
The arrangements for the convculence of the public were as complete and as satisfactory as they could possibly be; ono innovation which was a great im- provement on the procedure of previous years being the system by which the dividends paid by the Pari-mutuel were posted so that they could be seen by all. This obviated the crushing that used to be common at past meetings.
