October C. An unexpected feature developed in tlie racing this afternoon when the jidges got :ifter some of Hie riders that have been displaying more or loss listIossn!SS on strongly backed horses. The- principal offenders in this respect were jockeys Powers and McGee. The otiieiais did not mince their words when they gave this pair to understand that unless a noticeable improvement is shown in their work their riding careers will be it short.

It will be a three-quarters das for a suitable inrso or cup. At present several crack regiments ire in Louisville to take part in Uie military tournament beginning tonight.
