A Good Program and q Large Atsend.
ance I'm Spite Of the Cool Weather.

~uce IN Spate Oh the COOL weather.
For the fourth and last day of the regular
meeting of the Jockey club the weather was
still uniavorable, though al Improvement upon
the first three days The clouds, which looked
ugly in the early forenoon, cleared away, and
the sun came out bright and cheering, but not
with warmth enough TO temper the cool atnios-
phere to q comfortable degree.
The program was an excellent one and offered
five splendid races. The attendance was larger
than any day of the meeting and there were q
good many ladies out. The in-field was con
spicuous for the number Of private turnouts,
.he most noticeable one being the coach and
iour OF II. Grafton Duaney. His SNOWY rig had
been on hand each day OF the races. no matter
how ugly the weather was.
The action Of the executive committee In sus-
pendihg the rascaily jockeys who sold out the

pressed was that IL is the duty OF its officials TO
BEE That the racing Is fairly conducted.
