CHANCE IN BIG SWEEP.

Formerly, sweep tickets at the Race Meetings have cost $5 or $10. and as a result of the decision to reduce the price to $1, it will be possible to secure a through ticket| at the 6th Extra Race Meeting, on June 2nd for $9. Instead of $50 or mo $60 formerly.

Those purchasing a through ticket at the June Menting will have a chance in the big sweep on the Juling Stakes, in which soj far 55,000 tickets have been sold.
