THE RAcEs.-As stated yesterday
the inaugural meeting of thirty-six days
at the St. Asaph track closed that even
in with threatening, cloudy weather.
The attendance was large and the track
fast. Favorites, second choices and
outsiders, in twos each, were the win
ners. The special race between Prince
George, Ed. Kearney and Galilee was
declared off and scratches marred the
card.
The last two races resulted as fol-
lows:
Fifth, half mile, Lady Richmond !;
3, Miniver. Time, 49}. Flush, Punch,
Jewel, Phoebus, German, Marriage,
Parthena and Tartutfe also ran.

Equity; 2, Panway; 8, Little Tom.
Time, 1.49a. Major. General and Plen-
ty also ran.
To-day the park presented rather
quiet appearance. Many of those who
had CT gar, liquor. lunch and other
stands had closed their places of bust
ness and others were getting ready to
do so. AS stated yesterday many of
the horses will remain i'll the stables1ur-
ing the winter, but others are being
sent away. The pool rooms are now
open on foreign books.

THE MARKET this morning, though
rot presenting the animation of last
Saturday, was we'll supplied with
everything seasonable. Poultry, fresh
pork, butter and eggs were plentiful
enough for the demand, and prices
were almost unchanged. The supply
of fish was not as good as that of last
week, though there were enough for all
who desired to invest in the finny tribe.
There were not so many buyers present
ON account OF the dismal weather.

PRIZE tII IFS --AccoId.u. To !, loo
IN Inc Alexandria GAZETTE the Com
monweath's Attorney of Alexandr a
county has received a letter from Gov
ernor OFerrall calling his attention TO
the fact that prize fights are being h,ll
in that county in violation of the law.
The letter also orders that the proper
steps be taken to prevent the further
holding of such contests.
A Dispatch man called on the Gov
ernor last night and showed him the
clipping After reading it over his
Excellency stated emphatically that he
had never written such letter. He
added that although he had received
clippings from time to time from the
various papers OF that section calling
attention to fights that were being held
on Alexander Island under the aus
pices of the Eareka Club, he had not
taken any steps in the matter vet on
account of the pressure of other bust
ness.
Said the Governor: However, 1
intend to do all in my power to over
come lawlessness in this Common
wealth, and I will not permit prize
fights to be held within the borders of
this State.n
1t was suggested to him by the reporter that
the Eureka Club claimed that they only r.
Initted boxing contests" to be pulled off
there. To this the Governor replied that the
other clubs claimed the same thing; that Col
bett and Sullivan fought under the protec-
ton of a club and under the guise of boxing
contest Richmond Dispatch.
The report that Governor OFerrall had
written the letter referred to was in generul
circulated in this city and county.

tNofA Ako61. Acrf-
At the beginning Of this year Of
grace it was noised abroad, rather
more loudly than before, that woman
was losing her charms. Her frequent
appearance on the public platform, her
pleas for long delayed rights" her
entrance into fields that masculines
had once exclusively claimed, her gen.
eral desire on all occasions to be
recognized on equal footing with the
mighty male intellect were conclusive
proof to the timid stay-at-homes and
the chronic directors that femininity
was slowly dying.
So the women called a meeting and
the great gathering sat solemnly all
day and all night to consider whether
this thing was so, and, if so it proved.
what would be the means most effective
to strengthen the weakening letters
by which the strong man was held. The
sun peeped brightly in at them and
cried: "Shine, even as I, and dazzle
them with your brightness" The glow
worm sped past at eventide, murmur-
ing: Learn a lesson from my won
drous, alluring glow" Then few
raindrops fell softly over their heads
and whispered: "a pretty tinkle of
ornament will catch their dulling ear"
But the lightning flashed from the
inky clouds and said, with great dis
dain of them all: From blackness
bring forth light and you will do
WELL
So forthwith they brought forth jet.
1t did its work well. The jetted wom-
an still yields the scepter and the
ha ted rumors have ceased.
How does the jet appear? Some
times, in tiny bands that look so harm
less you would never dream they have
emptied more than one pocketbook; in
combination with such finely meshed
lace that you wonder how the lace
bears up under the heavy pendants; in
designs woven about heavy cream lace
point de Venise-rich and beautiful.
The narrow edgings are effective for
skirt trimmings, for bodice bands, for
