DAY OF HUNT CLUB RACING Sport Marred by Showers Most Interest in Between the Flags Race. NEW YORK, N. Y., November 7. Down at t big Belmont Park today there was an interesting i program of Hunt Club racing run n off by the United Hunts Racing Association. ! The bad luck that has been peculiar to this s association still held good when the day was marred by showers all afternoon, while a a heaw fog that hung over the big course ;e n made it difficult to distinguish the horses in their respective races. But there was a big crowd out and the usual enthusiasm over the sport. Real interest for the hunting set was centered in the running of the Between the Flags s Steeplechase. This was over a timber course t at the trying three and a half miles, for hunters with gentleman riders.
