GOOD STABLES FOR JAMESTOWN RACING. Norfolk, Va.. October 12. Five stakes to be run during the course of the autumn meeting of the Jamestown Jockey Club, which begins November 2 and continues to December 1, will close on October IS. They include the Monticello Hotel Handicap, ,500, a mile dash for all ages; the Exchange Handicap, ,000, one mile and a sixteenth, for three-year-olds and over; the Lynnhaven Hotel Handicap, 00, for two-year-olds, three-quarters of a mile; Thanksgiving Selling Stakes, ,000, for three-year-olds and over, one mile and an eighth, and the Merchants Selling Stakes, S00, for all ages, at six and one-half furlongs. Rob Levy, general manager of the Jamestown Jockey Club, expects a heavy entry list for these stakes. They are the best ever offered at Norfolk for what promises to bo the most successful race meeting ever held hereabouts. The overnight purses will be considerably more liberal than were ever offered here before, and, as a special inducement to the owners of good two-year-olds, three purses will be hung up for the youngsters at distances ranging from one mile to one mile and an eighth. It Is expected that these races will fill especially well. The Jamestown management has not yet allotted any stabling, but at the rate applications for stalls are coming in there can be small doubt that the capacity of the plant will be taxed to the limit. Practically every eastern horseman now racing at Pimlico and Laurel will come this way after the . windup of the season in Maryland. Among those who have bespoken stabling are August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club of New York; James R. Keene. the vice-chairman; Richard T. Wilson, president of the Saratoga Association; Capt, E. B. Cassatt, Ivan Fox, L. M. Stackhousc, Richard E. Watkins, Thomas Clyde, Capt. William F. Pres-grave, Charles S.
