Close Finishes Promised

NO OUTSTANDING PONY

(By "Captain Foster")

A good galloping course is assured for to-morrow's racing at Happy Valley. The Card consists of eight races and the Meeting promises to be an exciting one, with close finishes in the majority of the events. Judge Tester will, I think, have a busy time separating the ponies as they go past the winning post.
