niscenscs OF tho Late jim Broxn OF
Texas-Entrics for G~avsserd To-day.
But three weeks OF tho legitimate racing
season remain. and ono can scarcely realize
that autumn has begun to tinge tho leaves.
and that the best race horses OF the year will
DO in retirement in loss than n month. The
season OF 1892 will be memorable In many re-
spects.
The BROOKLYN Jockey Clubs fall meeting is
drawing fair-sized crowds and tho racing hns
been up 70 tho standard in previous yenrs.
The weather has been most desirable. and
Secretary Mcintyre must have entered into n
COMPACT with Farmer Dunn. If Mr.. Crickmore
can do as we'll for Morris Park the New York
Jockey Club will be in line for congratulation.
The feature OF to.day's card is the Ocean View
Stakes for threo.ycar-olds. with a fair entry.
The Neptune Stakes for two-year.olds Is the
only stake event down for Tuesday. while tho
Woodlawn Handicap for threc-year-olds and
upward at ono mile and n sixteenth will be
run on Wednesday. Among tho entries are
LampliGhter. Pactolus. Banquet. Lconawell.
Yorkvillo Belle. Demuth. aud Tho Pepper. II
Mr. Mcintyre is not too severe on the cham
pion 70 may see the brown colt 60 to the post
again. but the probabilities arc that the great
son Of Srendthrift will be saved for another
day. The Clinton stakes for three -~year-old
fllies. which is TO be run ON Thursday. looks
like a gift for Yorkville Belle. as Mr..
Ehret's ..llly outclasses hcr opponents
greatly. Friday is purse and handicap
