The Washington Industrial air Association
closed its meeting yesterday. and judging from
the satisfaction expressed by those present WHO
went out simply for the purpose oil witnessing
good days sport, the last day was as successful
as the opening one With those oil the sporting
element who went out with the expectation OF
turning few dollsre, Ii was different 1t APP

dollars waged on the result of a race seems to

case yesterday. espec ally in the nrst race. IL
was claimed that Caloma who was ridden by
Holman, was not out to win. After the first
heat, which was won by Doualas, crowd OF
gentlemen besieged the judges stand and in
sisted on change of riders
The judges at first were disposed to make the
change, but upon due investigation, finding
that the owners of Caloma were as DESTROYS OF
winning as those who had wagered their money
on the result, decided to allow Holman to con-
tinue as his rider.
This did not satisfy the crowd, and at the
confusion of the race they iocked in front OF
the judges stand and uttered loud cries OF
'fraud,'' robbers" declare the race Off"
"give MS a show for our money" etc.
II there was case of jobbery in connection
with the race Ii was simply impossible for the
judges to discover it They performed their
duties conscientiously, and their decisions met
with the approval of ell those who are in the
habit OF attending races simply Tor the amount
of sport which they furnish.
The sporting element were out in force, and
chuck-a-luck, roulette wheel of fortune and
other games were literally patronized BY 'ye
granger"
There was another element present, and,
judging from the manner in which they piled
their vocation, doubt classed as artists"

country. One gentleman complained OF the
loss of q wallet containing $500, while another
was done to the tune of $50 by light-fngered
gentry.
Outside of the above incidents and runaway,
everything passed off pleasantly at the track,
and the association is TO be congratulated for
the manner in which they conducted the races.
The judges were P. F. Smith, B. O. Van Book
kiln and Colonel Fi,zmorris, who acted as
starter.
cALoMA BADLY RIDDEN.
The event OF the day was the first race, run
ningl one mile and repeat, for which three OF
the four entries faced the starter-Dave Doug
| las, Coloma and Raindrop. Douglas was the
favorie in the pools selling at $40; s. for Col
| oma and So for Raindrop.
After several attempts the horses were got off
10 fair start, with Douglas in the lead, Coloma
| and Randrop close up. AT the quarter Douglas
was leading by three lengths, with the others in
| the same position. At the three-quarter pole
| Caloma commenced to move up. and when they
| swung into the stretch it looked as if he might
| possibly win, but Douglas rider let his mount
| out link. and Douglas won handily by half q
length from Caloms. Raindrop three lengths in
the rear. Time, 1;49i4.
! Mutuals paid $7.75 on this heat.
In the second heat Douglas was made the
| favorite at $40 to IS for the field. This was the
event of the day. After four attempts the
horses went off, with Douglas three lengths the
b st OF the start, which he increased to about
/ six lengths at the quarter; Caloma second
Raindrop third. At the hall the relative posi-
tons OF the horses were unchanged. Passing
the three-quarter pole they were on nearly even
| terms, and from there to the wire was witnessed
| one of the prettiest races ever seen on any
course. First one then the other showed his
| nose in front 'Raindrop wins" "No, Caloma
4 wins "Douglss is in 'front.' were the cries of
! the excited multitude. With whips out and
| steel working the TANKS OF the horses the
| trio came down the stretch. The riders of
/ Douglas and Raindrop were sitting down and
| lifting their horses at every jump While the
| rider of Caloma was up on his mounts neck,
coaxing him with voice and whip They passed
| under the wire, Douglas winning by nose
from Caloma, who was a short half neck in adj
vance of Raiudrop. A blanket would have COW
| cred the three easily. Time. Lac.
To tine poor riding of Calomas jockey is dne
the defeat OF the horse.
