THE COMING FALL RACES.
Preparations at the Ivy City Track for
Visiting FIyers--Mectlng OF the Jockey

Preparations at the Ivy City Track for
Visiting FIyers--NIecting OF the Jockey
Club.
The sporting fraternity arc anxiously an
ticipating the opening of the fall meeting of
the National Jockey club, which event will
begin at Ivy City Oct. 16. Already the work
of preparing the track, improving the grounds
and stands generally, and of placing the
stables in proper order for the reception of
visiting flyers, has commenced, and, to use
the words of the club secretary, Mr.. II. d.
Mcintyre, the meeting promises to be the
biggest thing district lovers of turf sports
ever witnessed hereabouts.
All the entries for the meeting have been
mado. as heretofore published in The
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, but up to yesterday
the only arrivals at the track were the horses
included in the stable of Davis 81 Hall.
These animals ar the bay mare Ella War
field by War Dance, bay colt by Leader, bay
geding by Leader, brown filly Rosiere by
Dickens and bay gelding by Fadladeen. The
stables of Oden Bowie, including Crickmore,
Twist My Mollie, Lagatee, Bessie, Empress,
Nellie, Analostan, Fairview, and Castor, are
expected to arrive early next week, and will
be rapidly followed by Lorillard's celebrated
racers and tho stables Of other noted turfmen.
The executive committee of the Washing
ton Jockey club met last night in the Vernon
building, Gen. McKibben presiding, and II
d. McIntire, secretary. The meeting was
called to consider the award of purses for the
fall meeting at Ivy City. A communication
from Freddie Gebhardt was read, stating that
his two horses, Eole and Ella, would be en-
tered for the races. From advices from other
sources it is evident that the races will in
clude horses of renown, and that the attend
auce will include many noted turfmen from
all parts of the United States.
