WILSON STABLE SCORES A DOUBLE. Montresor and Yellow Eyes Carrying Colors of Saratoga Associations President to Victory. Norfolk, Va., November 20. An ordinary program furnished some excellent sport at the Jamestown Jockey Clubs course this afternoon. The finishes in a majority of the races found the winners under stirring stretch drives and in several instances heads or necks separated the tirst two. The fields were well balanced, which made up in a measure for the lack of quality. The stable of R. T. Wilson scored a double witli Yellow 15yes and Montresor. The latter accounted for the afternoons feature, the Gleuwood lurse, a dash of seven furlongs, for which Montresor ruled an odds-on favorite. Montresor was ridden by the regular stable jockey, Wolfe, and the outcome was not in doubt after the start. In the racing around the tirst turn, Montresor sprinted into a commanding lead, but Wolfe took him in hand until the homestretch was reached. Then he again drew away and at the Jiuislt he led his company by half a dozen lengths. John l. Nixon and Miss Brush won their races by heads, while Yellow Eyes .and Flatbush each had a necks margin in their respective races. Fiat-bush was running for the first time in the colors of Frank K. Brown in the cyniing race, a dash of live and a half furlongs, jv maidens. He was staggering at the finish to beat Bergamot. A change in equipment brought an improvement in Reys running this afternoon. The horse ran without blinkers and Seharf did not race him excessively in the early stages as McTaggart did when he ran unplaced as an odds-on favorite in his preceding start. Schurf waited with the horse today until the final furlong before making his effort and when called on Rey finished fast and won going away. The race was a selling affair and R. 1. Miller bid the horse up from 00 to and secured him. He immediately resold the horse to Sam Louis for the same amount that he paid for him. After waiting several days R. I. Miller made his complaint in writing against J. W. Iledrick on the charge of attempted extortion. Mr. Iledrick will be given an opportunity of answering the charges. It is said that much evidence has been gathered and the result of the deliberations of the stewards will lie announced in a few days. Jockev Karrick. son of trainer William Karrlck, has been engaged by Thomas Hitchcock to ride what horses the latter will race in Fiance next year. Young Karrick will go abroad after the holidays. Herman Flippen, who has been spending several davs, here, departed for his home at Scottsvlllc, Aa..tonighU Flipp.cji .sold,, several horses while ! here, lucluding two maiden two-year-olds by Fatherless to J. O. Talbott. He also sold two yearlings to J. S. Tyree of Virginia, juie being a black Ily by Celt Toots, and the other a brown coltby Celt Lady Goda".

Toots has a weanling at foot by the imported horse Sea King that is said to be a splendid looker. He will mate the old steeplechase mare Lizzie Flat next spring, probably to Celt.
