The spring meeting of the Queens County
Jockey Club, which will come an end to-mor-
row, has been the most successful in the history
OF the club from every standpoint. The attend
ance has been remarkably big day in and day

10 the post at this time OF the year. and #
would not be fair to say that form has been at a

working along slowly and is sure 10 he a dan
gerous factor. Brown won its first game Of tia
season from Wesleyan on Saturday. but II looks
