CLAwsON WAS FIRST FOUR TIMES.
CONTESTS OF AouEDucr's FINAL DAY.

November was kind once more to the Queens
County Jockey Club and the weather yesterday
was delightful for racing and Tor all forms Of out
door recreation. The little Aqueduct grounds and
buildings were packed with admirers OF horses.

jockcyshp on each Of the four mounts was excel
