THE FALL MEETING At DEXTER rA1sK.
Yesterday as tho oren!ng-day Of the full meeting OF
the Dexter Park Club. It was beautiful day ZOE
participating in tho exciting sport Of Tho turf but
there was not sufficient number Of people on the
track to nnko TIN excitement among thonn matter
worthy Of mention. Moro charming weather could
not be desired by those who tako interest In CUT
door amusemonts and hopo for their creator popn-
tat1ty nnd srccess. Tho sky was clear blue, un-
ncckcd by single cloud, and tho sun omitted bright
and cheerful rayR, which tempered braciug breezo
from tho southwest that would otherwiao

to the auccoss Of racing acason. Later In tho after
