EASY WIN FOR COL. COOK

JAMESTOWN, Va, November 29.-The
closing day of the fall meeting was
most literally patronized by the Norfolk
people. \ very large crowd was present,
considering the wet weather during the
night and morning and the fog during the
entire day.
The track was about one and a quarter
seconds slow. Three handicaps, the
Chevy Chase, over the hurdles; the Ches-
apeake and the Au Revoir on the flat
and four selling races, made an at
tractive card.
The dead heat in the opening race, a
dash of five and half furiongs. put
everybody on edge, as these two were
the best played.
The dividing of the wagers made it a
good break for the bookies. Colonel
Cook with Fairbrother up, won the third
event. a selling affair, and was boosted by
Mr.. Simmons to $780, resulting in cost
iy win for the owner, who retained the
colt.
The Chesapeake handicap was hardly
q race for r. T. Wilson's Montressor, as
Jockey Wolfe brought him home an easy
winner.
The Au Revoir handicap. last on the
card and last of the season. was an
interesting contest, the field running well
together all the way till Strenuous drew
out in the last strides, winning by a
length
Capt. Emmons, owner of Rudolfo. will

coming two-year-olds belonging to Mr..

cision.
Jockey Ambrose, who coilided with a
grocery wagon while on his motor cycle.
journeying TO the course Thursday, is
yet unconscious and in grave danger.
The race special tonight will be crowd
cd with TURTLES bound for Charleston, to
where the scene shifts for a long pull
