Yesterday was the third day of the fall meet
ing Of the American Jockey Club. 1t turned out
very moderate day both 10 attendance and sport.
Tho look Of rain at midday deferred Visitors and
only few hundred were present. A little rain fell,
but not enough to affect the course, which has not
been fair at any time during the meeting. There
were Ave races on the card; one was walk over,
three races won In The hollowest manner, and
only one really good race. which was the
last ono important lesson was certainly
learned yesterday. Mr.. Bemonts grand
horse CleneIg was bcden badly, killed
by q crushing weight. When will men running
horses see that the best hor , can under great
weight be inferior TO jade with light onc'
Glensls at the same nge took up sixteen pounds
more than Niagara and was beaten from score to
finish But Glenelg was handicapped to be beaten
Ho hsd thrust on b.a II ounds, when his per
formsnces this year had warranted nothing OF the
kind His equal in years had nine pounds less lie
had be en- shamefuily bcae. " his bad starts. and
now tie was beaten by q prepos,erous handicap.
The hsndcarrer was either stupid or worse. and
fine horse WAS beaten by his action. Let MIR. Bel
mont learn that weight kills when even pace Will
not.
