GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The racing at Jerome Park yesterday,
the last day of the American Jockey
Clubs Fall meeting, was by far the best
witnessed at that track this season. Five
of the seven races resulted in the hard
est kind Of driving finishes, and the sec
ond half Of the American Jockey Club
Handicap proved to be an especially
fierce struggle. For a few seconds the
Dryers had visions of the famous Wood
lawn Vase passing out Of their hands,
and Mike and Phil both rooted as they
never did before. The race had two
starters only, Banquet and Sir Excess
The latter had won the first half of the
event. Doggett, under instructions, took
the Dwyer horse out in front, and led
by open daylight to the stretch. There
Taral sent Sir Excess up to Banquet,
and as the latter went to the whip the
crowd set up wild shout, Sir Excess
wins! Sir Excess wins!' A furlong from
home Sir EXCESS got his nose In front,
and a couple OF seconds later he began
to falter. Tara then got anxious, and
went to the bat. 1t was pretty strug-
gle, and Banquet. gradually wearing his
opponent down. won by nose.
