YEsTEgDAY's RACES.
Yesterday was the red-letter day of the sue
cessful fall meeting of the National Jockey
Club. Mr.. P. H. Christman, the club treasurer
told STAR reporter this morning that the
club has cleared $4,000 on the meeting
Considering about the bad weather of the first
three days the showing is remarkable, and
Messrs. Kelly, McGinn, Draney, Christman and
Green, of the executive committee, are receiv-
ing generous praise for their hard work.
As to the racing yesterday, it was all that
could be desired. Telie Doe, ridden by Nc.
Laughlin in his old time fashion, won the first
race handily. and as she is a great favorite in
Washington the general public landed quite
lot OF money. Judge Murray was well liked,
and the talent backed him heavily, but the
horse was not quite as good as he has been, and
could not get his nose in front at any part of
the race. King Crab ran q really good race.
and was only beaten in the last furlong,
though Telie Doe held him safe all the way.
Bronzomarte won the handicap, with
| ridiculous ease. Palmer pursued his
usual tactics, jumping off in front and never
sort Of experiment; his people did not know
whether he would 60 the distance. Seven fur
longs would suit him O deal better. He has run
his last race Of the season, for he and his stable
companion, Badge, will be shipped to Ken
lucky early tomorrow morning, to be turned
out for the winter.
Badge again showed what great little horse
he Is by winning the Potomac stakes in q COM
mon canter, pulled double. He has been
good friend to Byron Mcclellan, both this year
and last, winning many Thousands of dollars
when 1t was most needed and he will have a
well-earned rest this winter on the farm at
Lexington, Ky.
PAsHis RACE.
Although Pasha ran in Mr.. Burch's colors he
was sold by his owner, Mr.. Geo. NJ. Oyster, IT,,
| Just before the race, to J. II. Mccormick Tor
e1 500, and his new owner won with him at the
good race, and If she goes to Clifton or Gutten-
burg it will be well to keep an eye on her, for
1he win win . race before long. Lakewood
was backed again by his people at long odds,
but he could do NO better than run third

vas very pretty ons and the public seems to
think the club would do well to put more races
Of this kind on the program. Hercules, with
leo pounds, won almost - easily az he
did last week when he had but
l41 pounds. He has won every jumping race
Of the meeting, and his stable companion, Brac-
a-Ban, has been second twice. Elphin ran we'll

would be good horse for hunters race.
