PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Is 1873.
The rece meeting at the Point breeze ParS
course began to-day but II was any thing else than
. meeting OF the racing people OF the countrys
Three stables only were represented and they
made excellent contests, yet the track was heavy,
the wind very cold, and everybody uncomfoyta-
bile when out OF doors. 1t Is too lat; in
she season for running races, and the parties
who got up this meeting will be the losers. Those,
however, who witnessed the races to-day were
satisfied with the running and know ig,I well that
a mile was never run in Pennsylvania as Lizzie
Lucas ran one to-day in the md.
