FLEETWOOD MEETING ENDS.
Tho wind-Up or Racing on the Historic
Course.

With the conclusion OF the October meeting
yesterday at old Fleetwood harness racing over
the famous course becomes a memory only. ana
within a brief period, judging by the censeless
growth of the city in that direction, the track
itself will be but a recollection.
The past meeting was n fairly satisfactory one
from IA racing standpoint. The events. consider
ing the value of the purses. were productive or
some remarkably high-class racing, with nu-
mcrous holly fought, exciting contests which
required the full limit of heats to decide, while
in nll cases the speed shown was extremely
crcditable. 1t Is unfortunate that there were
some phases Of the racing during the week
which caused unfavorable comment, which APP
parently had some tangible basis.
The first race called yesterday was the unnn-
ished 2:2O trot, in which the four heats Of tho
preceding day were divided between Neva
Wilkes, Nita Pancoast, Ivandorf, and Dresch.
In the first heat yesterday matters were still
further complicated when the bay mare Margin,
who secured recent notoricty as a ringer under
the name of Rose, showed in front at the finish
in 2:173i. There were now five heat winners,
but the Parkvillo mare. Mia Pancoast, having
been withdrawn. only four qualified for the re-
naming heats. and with this small field Dresch
managed to fight his way TO the front in sue
cessive heats without going better than . 20.
The 2:l2 trot. in which the black gelding
Record had secured a heat before pOstponement
Friday, also resolved itself into a spiit-heat

and has been actually racing every day. came to
the front in the second heat. and after Il struggle
