The Metropolitan Jockey Club has made elaborate preparations for this fall season and there is no denying that the mile course is always a popular one with the racing crowd. For the opening day J. B. Campbell ha3 prepared an excellent card of six overnight races that will bring together nicely-balanced fields. Most of the horses have been seen in competition through the Belmont Park meeting, which came to such a brilliant close Saturday.
