It has been suggested that the stewards of the races should to-day add a couple oj additional items to the programme hy providing two bicycle races for a sfake ai say £5 each. There would probably be five or six entries for each evont, and hy providing one fast and one slow race some good fun would be furnished for the public in the intervals between the horse races. We learn from Westport that in the Christmas Handicap footrace, partly run on Saturday, MacfarJane and Keid each scored six points, and R. Coehrano (Roff* t-tn) two points. The remaining poijita will be r«n off io-day.
