As we have passed through our annual race meeting, we can breathe freely for another year. The at tendance was not so numerous as in former years, and many faces which were thought indispensab'e at nuch gatherings, were absent. The

totalisator put through over £IOOO. The raptorial orders of mankind wore there i)s usual, though in dim inished numbers, and were luckier here than at the down-country meet ings, for the. Club granted them the right to ply their games on the course;—a privilege vhieh was denied them elsewhere. The Club's title to the course being now perfect, the ground has been fenced in, so that the public had to contribute ]s per head in order to gain admittance to the grounds, which is a new source of revenue. It is to be hoped the Club will plant a lot of forest trees to shelter the stand from the pre vailing winds. They wisely pro vided a lot of seats for the con venience of their patrons, which were largely .availed of, and proved a great boon, especially to the ladies. Before the races we had several showers of rain which helped to improve the course, and lay the dust, but on the second day heavy clouds of dust continually rose and inside, matters verv disagreeable. Next year it is to be hoped the Club will t-ndeavor to remedy this do-fect by watering or laying down a tew loads of coarse gravel. Mrs Russell, of Pembroke, held the booth, aid dispensed a large supply of creature comforts.
