A LARGE ATTxxDAScR AND SPIRITED TRIALS
OF SPEED

The last day Of the Jockey Club meeting at
Ivy City was q success in point OF numbers in
attendance and in the character OF the races.
The weather took an urfavorable turn, and no
doubt its threatening aspect deter red many
from going out; but still there were several
thousand persons on the grounds. The meet
Ing has been q marked success In every re-
spect and has shown that the Washington
public does not weary Of good racing. To-day
was the eighth in two weeks OF running, and
tue Interest In the sport appears To be now at It's
height. The club has realised a handsome sum,
ana q portion OF the money, At least, will be
expended In improving the grounds. The plan
OIL erecting brick stables viii probably be carried
out, and then hundreds Of horses will winter
every seaapn al Ivy City.

FAST RACING.
The fastest mile ever made on the Ivy City
track was run yesterday by Pontico, the time
being 1:42. This fact seems TO have been over
looked. While the track Is conceded as one of
the best in the country, il is not, ON account of
its plan, considered by horsemen "fast." The
performance OF Pontico was phenomenal, every.
thing considered. Up until yesterday the mile
record ON the track was held by Jim Douglas,
who ran the distance last fall in 1:43. The
record is held by Ten Brock, who ran a mile
against time in 1891.
