Breeders Associations
Summer Meeting.
OPENS UP CONSERVATIVELY.
The Attendance Above Average
for Harness Meeting.
GOOD CONTEST IN THE 2:27 TROT.
la Belle, Tom Ryder, Abanteeo and
Pascal Succeed in Taking the
First Money.

When the summer meeting of the Pacific
Coast Trotting-horse Breeders Associa-
ton opened yesterday at Bay District
track there was an attendance of 1000. In
comparison with the crowd that is always
present when the bang-taiIs have posses
sion of the track the attendance looked
small, but for a harness meeting it was
above the average.
No fast miles we're trotted or paced, and
the sport was tame throughout. The track
was in irst-class condition, but the cold,
fOggy atmosphere was not favorable 10
fast time or good racing. A. IL. Cohen, F.
Nj Loeber and Z. P. Heald oficiated as
judges, while Captain Ben Z. Harris.
mounted and with flag in hand. acted as
starter. Though it was net evident to the
spectator that any advantage was gained
by the new method.
The regulation auction and pari mutuel
pools were sold, and ore lone bookmaker
nearly worried himself sick trying to post
odds against the contestants IN the four
races.
The first race was won In straight heats
by La Belle. Sidney filly, who was made
a favorite and sold in the pools at even
money against the entire field.
The 2:14 pace resulted in an upset for
the talent, who were sure that Plunkett
held the others safe, but the result showed
that the old campagner, Tom Ryder. was
able to win easily without having TO ex-
tend himself.
The only real contest of the day was in
the 2:27 trot, in which niue horses faced
the starter Stanley, a handsome gray
stallion, by FeaTnaught was made the
tav9rlte in this race and won the first heat
handily, but in the second heat his harness
HnrOb Oba har dfefo mn md co. -,
was than made first choice in the pools,
and won two heats. but the AnteeO mare,
AbanteeO, proved too fast and game for
the big brown stallion and won the race,
the last heat being tTotted when it was so
dark that the horses were barely dlstin-
gutshable.

of Mrs. Lucy Ann Cox.

FREDERICKSBURG VA, October 10.
Special. Frank Cunningham, Rich
mond's sweet singer, is here tonight,
to lend his voice in behalf of a most
worthy object-an entertainment to raise
funds for the purpose OF erecting monu-
ment to Mrs. Lucy Ann Cox. This
lady at the commencement of the war,
surrendered all the comfort Of her father
home and followed the fortunes of her
husband. who was "A member of Company
a. Thirteth Virginia Regiment, until the
Confederacy's flag was furled at Apo
mattox. No march was too long or wfa-
Their too Indictment to deter this patriotic
woman from doing what she con-
sidered TO be her duty. She was with
her company and regiment on their two
forays into Maryland. and her min
is:ering hand carried comfort TO many
a wounded and tired soldier. While Com
pany 4 was the object CT her untirinS
solicitude. no Confederate ever asked as
sistance from Mrs. Cox but it was cheer
fully granted.
She marched as the infantry did, sell
dom taking advantage of offered rides
In ambulances and wagon trains. When
Mrs Cox died few years ago II was
her latest expressed wish that she be
buried with military honors, and so far
as IL was possible her wish was carried
out Her funeral took place on bright
autumn Sunday. ana the entire town
turned out TO do honor 10 this noble
woman
The camps that have undertaken the
erection OF this monument indeed honor
themselves in thus concentrating the
virtues and heroic deeds of Lucy Ann Cox.
