REVIEW OF ANNUAL RACE MEETING Ythan Unluckiest Pony Of The Week

(By "Captain Foster")

We have had our Annual Race Carnival. The Meeting took place under splendid weather conditions. Ponics more or less ran true to form, and we were not treated to any sensational dividends in consequence, Some owners met with unforeseen roverses, but such is the glorious uncertainty of racing. Those who require sympathy include Mrs. Pearce and Mr. Hosic. Mra, Pearce's grifin Trowbridge went wrong some time before the Meeting. This was particularly unfortunato as the pony, I sure, was good enough to reglater a few wins had he remained sound. Trentbridge also went slightly defeat In the amlas, hence his Ladies Purse..
