lebration was started on Sun evening with a concert in front of (he city hall by the members of the Prince George brass band, and during Monday and Tuesday aftemons the band was in attendance at the track, and enlivened, the time between the horse races.
The horse racing was the chief at-; action for the two afternoons. The i ices were good. There were not so many entries in the Prince George Perby as in former years, nor was the 1 p race so stubbornly, contested, but t'Ve majority of the spectators were � eased with the performance of " rookwood. breezing along under wraps ' i finish easily in front of the speedy Kingmaker, to win in better time than was made last year on a speedier track. � The occupants of the stand were also pleased to see E. S. T. Johnson take down the cud which he has striven for so persistently for several years. Monday's   Racing

Sherman rode a good race r.nd moved ud early, passing Foy and challenging Past Age for first place. The two made a pretty race of it. The nnce proved too fast for the Hay Stables entrv and she gave way first. to Joe Brush and finally to F�v Thr "�� "'jis.-wQn by Joe Brush with Foy second, and Fast Age third. Time was not taken.

Just before the race was called it was announced that Shermn had decided to scratch Bit o' Fashion who was tired after taking the named race. This left but four horses in the big race of the meeting, two of which had been unable to keep company with former Derby winners. Brookwood was a strong favorite in the betting. There was no trouble in getting the field away. Fast Age came out first, followed by Brookwood, with Joe Brush third and Kingmaker br'nging up the rear. Brookwood had the race in hand before the track had been circled. Kingmaker commenced to move up and shot past Joe Brush and Fast Age but was unable to get near Brookwood who ivas breezing along apparently under �vraps. The Johnson entry finished an ?asy winner, with Kingmaker second and Joe Brush   third. Time.  1.59.
The win of Brookwood was popular nth the crowd and E. S. T. Johnson was given a bi^" hand by the grand stand.   He   has   attended*-the   Prince.

There was some unpleasantness at Ihe post, after the horses had been sent away on the part of Martin and Wilcox, who were ridinfj Foy and Radical. Martin was particularly abusive to the starters. The trouble was taken to the judges who disqualified Martin from further riding at the meet. It happened there was a shortage of jockeys and being anxious to ride Mi\r-X tin tendered an;apology for hispan-r.vns;e when his ' disqualification was raised and a fine imposed inste'nd.
