AT WORTH TODAY, The Worth Jockey Club will today inaugurate its fall meeting of fifteen days with a remarkably good card, following as it does on Harlems meeting of nine days with six stakes. Under some difficulties an excellent program of six races is offered, with the Worth October Handicap tha feature of tha days sport. Weighted as the horses are tha race should be productive of a close contest. Argregor will probably be the favorite, with Hildreths entry a close second choice ; Beseda picks up a five-pound penalty for her laBt win, making the impost 112 pounds; The Conqueror II. on bis last race figures to have a good chance and will not be overlooked; Goal Bunnar, W. J. Deboe, Benckart and Ben Battle are nominees with good outside chances. Worth seems to be fortunate in regard to the weather. Not enough rain bad fallen up to laBt night to make the track heavy, and with no more rain it will possibly be fast today. Presiding Judge M. N. Macfarlan haB been in he city for some time and has kept a close watch on the form of tha horses and the movements of the jockeys. This was done with the idea of familiarizing himself with the sport as it has been conducted at the other tracks, and it is safe to assume that he will be sufficiently well posted to enable him to keap horses and jockayB in line from the start. One important feature in which there will be a decided improvement over the spring meeting is in the matter of train service. Besides the regular trains the WabaBh Railroad will run two special trains which will make no stops between the station and the racetrack. Bacing will begin at 2 oclock sharp.
