did on the first and second days OF the meet
ing, but the racing was excellent and the.
crowd displayed enthusiasm by frequent

attendance was satisfactory throughout and
officials Of the association declare that the
losses for the meeting will be less than hair
as much IA they were for the meeting held at
Morris Park last year. That meeting lost
SIS 1000. II Is estimated that the losses here
will I've about 5000. and there is a very good
chance for the meeting becoming "A permanent
fixture in Washington.

was added to the card to-day by Perry
