The most successful meeting In the history Of
the National Jockey club closed Saturday with
big attendance and a fine days sport The
average attendance was better than ever before
and the gross receipts went beyond all former
figures. The meeting was attended by the best
classes of Washington society, and with proper
management the permanent popularity Of the
Jockey club is assured. There was some COM
plant about unfairness in the races, but it had
no foundation beyond the dissatisfaction OF
losers In the betting.

who gave their whole time and attention to the
meeting. The rigid exclusion of improper
characters, male and female, from the course is
a feature that meets general commentator.
The presence of so many ladies of the best fam.
lies of Washington society, on each day of the
meeting, was due to the fact that the manage
ment have steadily refused to admit to the
grounds any persons of even questionable repu-
tatiOn.

members OF the club and others, of the innova.

privileges of the club house, not because these
privileges were of any special value, but on the
ground that the exclusion was a snub to q class
OF men who did not deserve such treatment.
This Is a matter, however, for the club to regu.
late and which does not concern the outside
public.
