The longest period Of consecutive racing in
Washington Tor good many years ended at
Benuiugs yesterday In the presence OF a good
sized crowd who backed their Judgment eagerly
and freely. The meeting has lasted sixteen
days and one DAY only was there postpone
meut on account 81 the weather. The club has
run the meeting on strictly business prin-
ciplcs and has made, Il Is thought, fair
return on its investment, while the racing has
been Of an excellent quality, taking into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that there were only 100 horses
here. The club and its presiding Judge, Mr. J.
J. Burke, have vigilanily guarded the reputation
OF the club, and there have been remarkably
few allegations Of crookedness made on the
whole the club closes It's first season In good
style and with brilliant prospects Of long
career as racing organization.
The weather was Of the delightful Indian
summer variety and the track was in good cou-
dition.
Yesterday the favorites won three out OF the
four fiat races, and the winner Of the odd race
lie form, aud, moreover Mr.. Mccoy made no

CHICAGO Nov. S.-The American Horse Show
closed tonight before an audience of over
5000 people. The feature Of the evening
entertainment was the Jumping contest be-
tween the Canadian horse Roseberry and the
American horse Filemaker for purse Of $500.
Fiemaker in attempting to make the G-foot
ll-inch jump, fell and for time it was thought
had fatally injured his rider, Potter The next
attempt was at Z feet II inches, which was
a-half inch higher than Filemaker's world
beating record of Thursday evening. RosebeTy
was ridden by Tim Blong, in excellent form,
and at the very first trial cleared the poles, the
horse barely grazing with one of his forefeet
The enthusiasm of the crowd present was un-
bounded, and for many minutes there was
great cheering. Potter the rider of Fiemaker
although in an injured condition, had by this
time mounted his horse and was determined to
make another attempt, but the people protested
so forcibly that he was obliged to desist.
