/ Fall Program for the Annual Races to Com
mence Tomorrow ut Ivy City.
There are few society events around Wash
ington that excite much general interest as
the race meeting of the Dumblane Hunt Club.
Tomorrow will see an audience at Ivy City
which will recall the fashionable gatherings of
last winter. The Dumblane Club has made
reputation. not only as a social organization of
| the highest character, but as an earnest advo-
cate of the breeding Of an improved class Of
horses in this neighborhood. Good weight
carrying hunters to whom the heavy steeple-
chase course is mere play are the horses the
club is striving to have raised, and since the
| formation some years ago q considerable meas
ure of success has been reached.
| THE ANNUAL RACES.
The annual races were started first as a side
affair among the members of the club. The
meet. however. has become an impov tant part
| of the club. and each year brings together a
larger and more fashionable audience. The
| races this year take place tomorrow and
Saturday at the Ivy City track, and from
the large number of subscription tickets
sold and the excellent character of the entries
promise to out do all previous meetings both in
the size of the audience and in the character of
the racing. The failure of the handicap
steeplcchase, which was the only event open to
professionals, to secure three entries was I'M
fortunate. but the gap has been filed by a
match pony race between horses owned by Mr..
George Eellsn and Mr. Van Ness Phillips at a
quarter of a nile Both in and out of the club
the greatest interest is felt in the race for the
Hunters cup, which will be ridden in pink
costs and viii zee Ealy members Of the club
as starters.
