The Jerome Park races were we'll attended
yesterday taking into account the threatening cond
ton of the weather The lowering clouds kept away
that array Of beauty and fashion that is usually
seen about the clubhouse bluff, and four-inhands
were there The day quiet oDo there being little
or no excitement Pierre Orard occupied seat In the
timers stand and the Dwyer brothers spent most OF
their time in part of the grand stand set aside Tor
the booImakers. The uDpleasantness over the two
ceiling of Thursday appears to have oied
natural death.
Though the fields were small with the exception Of
the selling race the sport good. betting brisk, and
