Ample provision lias been made iu the overnight races by Clerk of the ; Course Joseph SIcLennan, who compiled the program, for horses of every age and class. Two-year-olds, of which there will be a plentitude of good ones here during the meeting, obtain more than usual recognition,, and races for all ages over distances up to a mile are certain to be well-filled. Sir. SIcLennan himself Is now lit Latonia, checking up the horses which will be shipped hereat- the. conclusion of the meeting at the SlilWale course. Slore than 100 of the horses, now In Kentucky will be transferred here iu a special trajn at the conclusion of the races In -the blufl. grass state.

J. Brown, Grefer and Render end many others. Stake nominations received from the Latonia delegation number more than 30, the best of the- horses which later on will be raced at Charleston being included. G. SI. Johnson, the young Tennessee turfman and former successful race rider, will bring eighteen horses to me JamestowiL track. He has now in his charge the largest string of thoroughbreds he ever raced, as he has succeeded his brother-in-law, the late George Ham, as trainer and manager of the big string of William Gcrst of Nashville, in addition to handling his own string. Johnsons yearlings will be sent direct to Charleston, and they are a likely lot. They are ten iu number, and include some of Sir. Gersts own breeding, as well as six which were acquired at the fall sales at Lexington. A big chestnut colt by St. Savin, and a brown filly bv Hastings out of a half-sister to Slanager Slack, he considers the best of the lot. All are well broken and in forward condition. Sir. Johnson has acquired from J. R. Respess the contract on the apprentice rider, W. Powers, who will do the lightweight riding for the Johnson and Gcrst stables this winter. The first big stable to come to the Jamestown course will be that of William Slartiu. Canadian owner i,nd former rider. Slartins horses have had an arduous campaign and he will accordingly rest them for the local meeting. All of his- horses, including Rye Straw, The Rump. Cogs and Our Sta-belle. are iu good condition. Jamestown always has been a lucky racing ground for Slartin and he will come down from Laurel at the end of this week. He has been a liberal nominator for all the stakes to be run here, and a representative from his stable will in all probability start in the Slerchants Selling Stakes, the Lynnhaven Hotel Handicap, the Slontl-celio Hotel Handicap and the Thanksgiving Selling Handicap. Nominations to the Jamesjlown stakes will close on Saturday, and judging from the entries already received the stakes will have larger and better fields to draw from than during- any previous meeting here. General Slanager Rob Levy -lias announced that the opening day of the meeting will be ladies day, on which occasion all ladies will be admitted free. Ladies days at the Jamestown track have been occasions in more than their mere naine. The display of fashion and the presence of society folk from all over the state have been marked by all visitors at the Jamestown course . and witli fair skies this year the occasion should be a brilliant one. On that date the Slerchants Selling Stakes, for all ages, six furlongs, carrying a value of ,000, will be the feature. Track Superintendent R. I.
