HORSE NOTES.

Fall Ranas Postponed

The EDizUouc-opsning of Entries for the
Fall Races Postponed
The terrible disease epizootIc, which for the
past week has been affecting the auimals in the
Eastern cities, has made its appearance here. On
Saturday, Sunday and yes terdsy large number
of valuable animals in the livery stables were
affected with the incipient symptoms Of the dis
ease, but in no case had it reached full develop
ment. Neither the work horses of the contractors,
the streetrailrOad companies, nor the fire de-
partment have as yet shown any signs, but the
owners are fearful lest they should again be vic
timized.
Last night was the time fixed by the committee
of the Washington Driving Association for the
opening of entries for the fall races at Bright
wood Park. There were enough entries sent In
to fill all the races, but several owners who de-
sired to enter held back for fear their animals
might be attacked with the epizootic, the com.
mfttee deemed It both wise and just TO postpone
the opt ming until October IL. By that time the
fact OF the existence non-existence OF the dis
ease in this city will have been demonstrated,
and all owners will have a fair chance.

confident that happier, more joyous set Of little
folks was never before gathered together. Mrs.

and who never seems to weary In doing some act
of kindness, never looked loveier or proved to all

everybody than on this occasion. Her kind words

one that will never be forgotten by those who
