Threatening Weather, Small Attend
ance and Poor Card az Jerome Park.
Race Track, Jerome Park. n. Y, Sept.
1.-Less than 600 persons witnessed the
races here to-day. The weather was
threatening, but rather poor
card was probably responsible
for the slim attendance. Favor
ties captured but three of the seven
events. The third race, the Oakwood
stakes, had only two starters, but it
proved the best race of the day. Clifford
and Banquet were the starters, the former
being hot favorite The pair got away
to perfect start, neither having any ad-
vantage, DOggett at once took Banquet
in front length and half to the good
Grimm did not move on Clihord until the
turn into the stretch was made. Then he
cut loose. A fu.long from home he got
Clifford's nose in front, but Banquet hung
on gamely From there the pair raced
heads apart. Clifford finally won clev-
erly by neck. This was very good time
Tor this track. The summaries were as
follows:
