RACING In THE RAIN.
Tho Last Day Of tho Fall Running Meeting at
Ivy City
The Winners and the Money Won-sports
OF Various Sorts.

the National Jockey club ended with faiT
attendance and five good races. In every
way tho meeting has been great success In
management, attendance, good horses, good
racing, successful starting and financial ro-
suits, IL will compare favorably with the
meetings held by tho best of the older jockey
clubs of the country. This satisfactory result
will insure further enterprise on the part of
the club in the way of offering inducements
at its future meetings sufficient to render its
track favorito with the best stables in tho
country, and insure tho coming here of the
best class of racers of tho future.
The departure of many of tho horses for
Baltimore caused tho entries in tho different
events Saturday TO be rather light, tho at
tendance being, in consequence, tho smallest
of tho week, 1900 being probably fair esti-
mate of the crowd present. But tho racing
itself was as good rs any that had signalized
the preceding days, the finish between Birch
Rica, and Bella being quito troat and the
closest of the meeting. Old Fair Count won
tho Congress stakes in time and style worthy
of tho days whom ho was n dangerous antago-
mist, even to Eole and Glenmore.
A light rain fell at intervals during tho af-
ternoon, and while not sufficient to make the
track very heavy, madoit somewhat slow.
