February \Gth, lith and 18th.
Both the weather and the racing on the first and second days seem to have been all that could be desired; and the attendance about equal to that at former meetings. On the third day the weather unfortunately changed, and " the rain came down a regular soaker' just before the starting of the first Race."
Those who were really to be pitied were the riders of the horses in several races, who came in to "weigh in the most awful plight, plastered over with mud from head to foot, and it got to be quite a difficult matter to distinguish which was the front and which the back of the heads, as faces were scarcely discernible."
