day of the New York Jockey Club meet
ing proved an ideal one, the weather
being beautiful and the track good.
Fully $4,000 people were present when
the Metropolitan handicap, the feature OF
the day, was ran. The sport of the day
was marred by a sad accident in the
handicap. Just as the horses were max
