AQUEDUCT MEETING ENDS. . - j SNOW, RAIN AND SMALL FIELDS THE ORDER OF THE CLOSING DAYS SPORT. Athlete Takes the Nassau Handicap Martin Doyle Top Much for Go Between Old Bon Mot in Front. New York, November 15. The metropolitan sea-eon here closed today midst depressing surroundings, it being regular winter weather, snowing hard all the day, hut melting as it fell. The fields were small and the racing free from excitement. Millers rid on Oraculum in the second race was much criticized. There is no truth in the report that James It. Keene Is to send Peter Pan and Court Dress to England. Peter Pan is not in the Derby, but Court Dress is in itlie Oaks. Both De Oourcy Forbes and James Kowe declared neither will be sent to England, though Mr. Keene has by no means made up his mind not to race in England again. The recent meeting at Pimlico is declared to have been the best ever held there and there was an average of twenty-six layers each day so the profits were large. The track was offered to the Washington Jockey Club for its fall meeting, hut the ollicers of that club did not think it would be necessary and it is now too late. Work will go on at. the new track at Hazelthorpe, but it will not be ready until next fall. Go Between made his first appearance in several weeks today and was beaten by Martin Doyle at only four pounds difference. Go Between did not display his old-time resolute way of finishing, but of course, his let-up may be responsible for this. The fourth race was marked by a plunge on Asterisk, which ran last and is all bunged up. Bon Mot, also a resurrected horse, won the fourth race without much . r-- .trouble. - - - -
