We feel that 1t would he improper, in closing our
record of the spring meeting at the Metaire, not to
award the gentlemen of the Metarie Jockey Club
an extra share of credit for the manner in which
they have conducted the meeting. Always correct
in their understanding of the nobility of horseacing
and successful in their endeavors to sustain that
nobility, they have this season surpassed all their
former efforts in refining the sport to which they
periodically devote themselves with so mucf pleas
ure. Two points were to be achieved first, to
establish perfect system in the disposition and man.
agement OF the multitudes attending the races, and
thereby secure order and decorum and second, to
add that charm to the sports without which no pub.
lie sport can be considered perfectly geneel or re-
hned-the charm Of feminine presence. The gentle.
men who took upon themselves the duties of stewards
or general managers, discharged those duties ener-
geticay from first to last and to say that they
ceeded to their own credit and to the honor Of their
Club in the noble sport they patronized will only be
to echo the unanimous sentiment Of the thousands
of gentlemen and the hundreds of ladies' who visited
the races during the week. The Metarie has long
had name for the brlancy of its races and under
the auspices Of the present Jockey Club, it is win,
ming name for considerably more than It's element.
