LATOMA MEETING BOOMING ] rROMISES TO EXCEED ALL FORMER FALL MEETINGS IN PATRONAGE AND PROFIT. Kar.ovia Treats Speculators to an Unwelcome Sur- » priec — Favorites in Eclipse— Red Cross and Change Popular Winners — Track Gossip. I Cincinnati. Ohio. Octdier XL — Each day brings i additional improvement to the record-breaking meet- . ing at Lalonia and the end of tlie season promises to eclipse any former term of fall racing lierea- I lx nt. The patronage this af term on was again of ; the substantial sort, notwithstanding that no outstanding features were on the eard and that the i track continued to be in bad condition, although drying rapidly. i The principal race brought with it an upset in the failure of ogue and Dr. Larrick, which were re- i garded with the most favor. The winner turned up in tlie neglected lianovia, which came with a cy- i clonic rush through the stretch after a slow beginning. During the early racing Vogue and l r. L-trrick had alternated in the lead, with Prince llermis ; following and Hauovia trailing distantly. Vogue • retired in the last eighth and apparently left the i result b twecn l»r. I.arrick ai!d Prince llermis until in the last seventy yards, where lianovia came like a rocket and won drawing away. i The backers of favorites were jolted badly during the afternoon, l-ather Kiley being the only first choice to score, although Rod Cross and Change were stoutly supported, the latter particularly by the Canadian contingent. The victory of Kels was a decided torni reversal, for that racer has been beaten off in He vera I recent races and he won with the utmost ease today. 4. li. Dillon. Si"., formerly racing s h rotary of the I.atonia Jockey Club, now county clerk in Civing-ton. was a visitor this afternoon. llw yearlings |Hir hased by S. f.
