The attendance showed that the change from Baturday to Sun- day was a great success, the hope was freely expressed on nit aidés that the jolly little country meeting will for the future be held on Sunday

Ace of Spades, magnificently handled by Lieut. Shillington, enhanced his reputation by running away with the principal race. of the meeting, and succeeded thereby in providing Mr. Ulster with his first win on the turf.

* Mr. Shillington headed the winning list of riders by piloting two winners and two thirds out of four mounts, which was a rattling good performance and one which should please our popular "Geoff in view of the fact that this is to be his inst; appearance · in the saddle as he is leaving us early next month..

Followers of the game will see a wonderful contest at the next meeting which is to take place on March 24th when My Lady and Ace of Spades will be in op. position.

If a run off can be arranged at the next meeting between the " two ponies, Blotting Paper and Kiangsu, who dead heated yester- day, we should certainly have a record gate, as this race provided one of the biggest thrills we have seen for many a day.

The Regimental Band of the 1st Battalion, Somerset Regiment, under the baton of Bandmaster Woolmott, materially added to the success of the meeting by rendering a well chosen programme of music in the intervals of racing",
