1 I RACING AT ORLANDO ENDS Meeting of Nineteen Days Comes to Close With Running of Saturdays Program. ORLANDO. Fla., April 10.— Nineteen days of racing at Longwood, under the auspices of the Seminole Jockey Club, came to a close this afternoon. Trajanus won the best race on the final card, galloping a mile and an eighth to triumph by four lengths from Shindy, which finished five lengths in front of Margaret Gaut, the third past the finish in a field of five. Tryon rode the winner, which raced in the silks of J. F. Besche. Margaret Gaut made the pace easily aire ost to the stretch, where Shindy started around her straightening out, and Trajanus went around them both and drew into an easy lead. Sunshine and a fast track prevailed for the farewell program. Dark clouds threatened rain just before the first race, but none fell. The crowd was larger than the average. Financially, the meeting has been a failure. Cobham won the opener for T. V. Mount-joy, leading from start to finish. He was tiring and just lasted to beat Jim Daisy by a bond. Ormzleigh beat the others in a field of nine. Murphy rode the winner. Outward Bound won the second for Carl Drake. See It Through made pace, but tired in a drive and was beaten by a length. Oil Pady raced wide and finished third. Holicko rode the winner. Seths Hope outlasted Atropos by a head in a drive to the end of four and a half furlongs in the third race. Atropos made the pace nearly to the stretch where Seths Hope slipped through inside to a safe lead. Atropos was gaining on the J. A. Parson color-bearer at the end. Matthews rode Seths Hope. Natrolight finished third. Mary William outran a fleet band in the fourth, and paid a good price. Anderson sent Mrs. M. Prescotts color-bearer to the front and urged her home a head in front of Keao-lani. Porto de Oro finished third. Admirer won the sixth race by a length. Harp of the North and Wise Guy were gaining on him at the end after being allowed to drop too far out of it. Tryon rode the winner, his second in succession. He wore the silks of the Ooncord Farm. * ,
