The weather for the opening day was ex wellent for the sport, and if taken as an augury of the success of the meeting, then the Committee will have no reason to be dissatisfied with the result. The pro- grammes for each day are varied, and as variety is interesting, the public will no doubt be ominently satisfied with the racing provided. The sports will bù con- tinued to-morrow, Thursday and Saturday. The main event on Wednesday's list is the 200 Yards Championship of the Colony, and at present N. H. Alves and R. C.
