There was a vocall attendance of spectators, probably on account pf the hurried manner in which the Gymkhans was pushed forward at the last moment, but the proceedings wors graced of a goodly proportion of the presence ladies. His Excellency the Governor WHE also among the spectators, as well as Major- General Barker and Rear-Admiral Palliser, Taken as a whole the afternoon's compoti tions were far from interesting. The beat ovont of the day was the Ladies Nomination pony race in which the first four posies were separated by inches only.
