CHE RACES.
The Most Successful Day OF the Fall
Meeting.

Yesterday was the one redeeminB
day OF the fall meeting of the Dallas
Blood.Stock Association, and all who
attended were enthusiastic over the
unexpected and really exciting sport
that was afforded them. The attend
ance was not rs large rs the manage
ment had Il right to expect, but when
we take into consideration the many
many disappointments that the public
have been subjected to, we cannot
blame our citizens for their negligence.
We do not think the Association is to
blame for past disappointments, rs
they offered every inducement to own
ers to run their horses, besides showing
them every courtecy, and at the same
time providing them with unusual
facilities for the care and training of
their stock. The horses were rung
promptly and saddled for the first race
IA dash of half mile, for which
there were three entries j. II.
Barshe's Roam Bell, ]. h. Barkley's
Joe Barter, and Parks Sorrel Shel by.
The horses got fair start, Bell and
Shelby running well together and Joe
trailing far in the rear Coming down
the home stretch the Roam gradually
drew ahead, and passed under the
string an easy winner, Shelby second
and Joe third. Time, 52t. The Sec
0nd race was the two mile heat, for
which there were three entries
Thomas Turner's &. h. Watson, }. ID.
Warren's ch. h. Alt Johnson and II.
Bachelors b. h. Clabe Hubbard. The
latter was the favorite two to one
against the field and his hackers were
confident of his winning the race The
horses got off well together. All John
son however soon taking the lead,
Watson second and Hubbard third
The horses had not run probably more
than one hundred and fifty yards when
Clabe Hubbard unfortunately ran
against the inside fence and tore O
long cash in his flank, and to this
accident Is attributed his failure to win
the race. AT the half mile pole
of the first mile the positions
of the horses were unchanged and it
was not until the third quarter was
reached that the favorte made spout,
and passing Watson, took the second
position. He then tackled ALI for the
lead, but the little chestnut couldn't
see 1t and they passed the grand stand
In that position on the back stretch
of the second mile Clabe managed to
pass All, but only for short distance,
for when the home stretch was reached
ALI came up again and took the lead,
although Clabe made a gallant struggle
to retain his advantage. All came
IN the winner of the first heat,
the crowd cheering him Justify
Hubbard second and Watson
distanced. Time S:iSl. After dismount.
Ing, Mr.. Bachelor examined his horse,
and applied whiskey to the cash In his
Hank. His admirers gathered around
him, and one could tell at glance
that they thought their favorite was
already beaten. His owner, however,
concluded to let him finish the race,
and when the interval of thirty min.
utes had elapsed, he was saddled M
ready for the start. The knowing ones
now tried to hedge, but they met with
but little success, as the old iavorite
could find but few hackers. On the
second heat the horses made n false
start and Were brough back. The Sec
ond attempt was more successful, and
they got off In good style, both
running well together. On the first
half Clabe fell behind ALI, ana the
race was finished with the horses re-
tanning this position. All won the
heat and race. Time, 4:l5. During
this last heat Clabe repeatedly endeav.
ored IT, run against the fence, and his
rider was compelled to keep his head
well turned to prevent him from &C.
complishing his purpose. 1t was the
opinion of oil who witnessed the race
that Clabe would have won 1t had he
not injured himself In the start.
The third race was a dash of one
mile, for which there were six entries,
two of which were withdrawn before
the race, leaving II. Bachelors
