NEW YORK. Nov 4.-The MetrOpon- /
tan racing season is giving its last flick
er, and with the last race, November 10,
at Aoueduct. the season OF 1895 viii have
passed into history.
tt has been, on the whole good sea-
son. While the only sensational horse
produced has been Sysonby, there has
been a number of irst-class animals AT
the races. and most excellent sport has
been the result of their meetings.
1t must be confessed that the two
year-old division has not shown any su-
perlative merit
The fact that they have continually
beaten each other is demonstration pos
tive that they have little class. Il may
be that as three-year-oids they viii i'm
prove. but the outlook is very uncer-
tain.
There are no such horses as Kinley
Mack, Hernis Irish Lad. and African
der IN sight outside of Sysonby and per-
haps Burgomaster. Their like are much
needed TO create interest, hence the
hope that some of this years crop OF
two-year-olds viii turn to good account.
One thing has been developed by this
years racing. More tracks are needed
in this district; tracks where second
rate horses may run with some chance
of earning oats. The game here Is devel-
oping constantly into a rich mans game.
in which the small owner has little hope
OF winning anything except an occasion

tie fellows IS what IS needed and this
want bids fair 10 be met.
The outside meetings at Providence,
Buffalo, and the Canadian circuit have
helped little. but the supply of tracks
Is yet deficient. This has become SO
apparent that ways and means are
being devised by promoters 10 lend a
helping hand.
Some months ago an association was
formed 10 build and operate a race

Des Moines, Jan. 23-The quiet city
Of Armstrong has been put into a fu-

Peterson's story was that one of the
proprietors of the paper came to his
Office and kicked him In the face
The other side OF the story reached
Des Moines today in q letter from an
Armstrong man to Des Moines parties.
The Armstrong Republican was
owned by William Stuart. vice presi-
dent of the First National Bank OF
that city, DR.. Finlayson and Represen-
tative II. II. Robinson of the same city.
They sold a half interest to H. M Pet
erson. A week ago Peterson who is
is in active control of the paper printed
an issue with the pictures of the other
three men across the top OF the page
and black headlines declaring the men
to be frauds and warming the public
against them.
Peterson says Stuart came to the
Office and assaulted him by kicking
him in the face Stuarts friends say ne
only slapped Peterson. The Armstrong
Journal democratic paper says Pet
erson started in to compel everybody
In the city to be good by roasting
them.
The three men have started proceed
ings to dissolve the partnership. They
claim when Stuart called at the office
OF the newspaper Peterson insultingly
demanded to know what business ne
had there whereupon Stuart slapped
him.
