postponement OF the days sport. The
biood-horse people, however, have adver-
tlsed their fall meeting to take place rain
or shine" and the programme was accord
lngly run through in spite of the raging
gale and drifting rain.
ScraichiDgs were somewhat numerous, hut
good fields contested the first two events.
and although they ruled small in the last
three races, the contests were fairly inter-
estlng. Everything passed off without q
hIteh, save that in the first race the major
lty OF the spectators were of opinion that
jim IL, who came fast on the outside al the
hnlsh, got second place. Billy HILL the
Jockey who rode him, was confident that he
beat both the placed horses. SL0nemaD and
Iypesetter. and said he was looking around
at them as he passed under the wire.
The judges were seen by THE CALL rep
resentative and they were positive that
Jim was fourth. Mr.. Riley especially
was told to look out for ''the fellow coming
on the outside" lie stopped down, and
says there is no doubt about the matter
The judges are certainly in the best posi-
ton TO decide close finish. but very few Of
the horsemen agree with them on the de-
cislon In question. The talent had all the
best of the deal. as Lottie ID was well sup
fayorites all won. The bookmakers were
one and all on the wrong side of the fence.
There were eight starters in the nine
sixteenths selling dash. Claymore and
Jim divided the favoritism, while Lot
tie ID and Gypsy Girl were the best sup
ported of the remainder. Lott tie ID rushed
10 the front as the flag fell. never was
caught, and won in romp by two lengths
through the slush and mire ia :5S15. Hill
brought Jim II on the outside of the track
at the finish, and looked rs if he got the
place. The judges, however, placed Stone
man second. Iy peSetter third and Jim X
fourth. Many were of opiuion that the
judges overlooked the last named.
The second rare looked AL over bar the
shouting for Pedigree Browns wonderful
Wiidldie colt Wildwood to beat his six op-
DOneats. He was established an unplay a Bile
fayOrite. any price being obtainable against
the others. Jenny MintZeT jumped of in

common canter under big pull in 20

the position by half a length. though be
palpably fonled AituS In the stretch, but it
was not claimed.
Misty Morn was scratched for the mile
handicap, leaving only Pescador 112 Sheri-
dan ia and Alliance 96 TO compete. Pesca-
dor, who was favorite again, gave display
OF his weil-nigh unmanageable temper at
the post. Starter Rowe seems TO be the
| only person who can control him, and, as in
| his previous races, had 10 get down from
| his stand ana coax and whip the rebelious
.'Cyclops" into position, and then drop his
| flag from behind the horses. A good start
was effected. and IL was a 'cakewalk"
for the one eyed favorite from
wire to wire. Alliance soon tired TO moth

was reached. Miller, who was up on old

! But they never use a whip on SHERRY"

When the FEEDERS priced up the odds
against the four horses who were left in the
| five-eighths dash for beaten horses. they
| soon got a tremendous rush OF money on
| Oakland, tvo-year-old gelding recently
| picked up at the Sbippee sale for S65 by a
young stable lad. All his friends had their

| helped himself 10 the good thing. When
the signal was given Bondinetts vas first TO

and Oakland last. Weber Immediately

away in front amid frantic cheering from

full OF running by couple of lengths from
Lucy 5, in .0S, who beat Bonnie Blue by
| three lengths for the place.
Red Prince was played as "ciueh" to
beat his solitary opponent. Cyclone, over

Cyclone appeared 10 be taking matters in
easy style along the backstrech, he could

the wire. The time hung out was :42A.
Throughout the afternoon the wind in-
terfered with the racing down the straight.
After each race both horses and jockeys
were barely recognizable So mud despatched
were they. The bookmakers' stands on the
outside row were moved further in under
the stand TO keep them out of the rain, thus
rendering the avenue between much mar
rover. The smallest crowd of the meeting
was present, but owing to this arrangement
the crush In the betting ring was apparently
greater than ever. Immediately after the
last race a rush was made for the cars and
the track was soon deserted by all those
who had a home TO go 10.
