class Of horses which have run at the meetings
Of the club have not been as high as the enter
prise OF the club deserved, but at this meeting
the best horses in training. with few excep-
tions, will run. so that race-goers who attend
this meeting will have the opportunity Of wit
Messing frat-class horses in weii-arranged races
There are no stake races TO be run, the club
management wisely concluding that overnight
events produce larger fields and result in more
closely contested trials than do the vast ma
jority OF stake events.
MANY improvements have been made on and
about the grounds by the club since the last
meeting, none Of which will be more sppre-
ciated than the well-laid plank walk from the
railroad station 10 the main entrance. Other
needed improvements have been made and the
club house has been enlarged. The steeple-
chase course has been slightly heightened and
an easier turn made for the jumpers Just be-
fore leaving the infsld the first time. The
track IL in an excellent shape, fast and safe
although a little rain would not hurt 1t In the
least As IL Is now il is very dusty.

THE RACING SEASON.
The legitimate racing season, which IL almost
over. has not been particularly brilliant one.
The three-yeAr-olds, who promised to be the
greatest ever seen in the east. lost by sickness
and accident their most brilliant leaders, the
mighty His Highness. the great st. Florian the
speedy but delicate Victory. Then the two
yesr-Olds were most disappointing lot. With
the exception Of Morello, who IL controlled by a
