heroes of Santiago but sleat seat is rather rubbing it in The only persons oblivious of the fact that cold disagreeable weather has arrived are the street car officials and these have slight chance of salvation whan wham they are judged for continuing in use their pneumonia producing conveyances conveyancesSoon conveyances Soon after two oclock o'clock the sky cleared some ¬ what and the day thereafter was a compara compare ¬ tively lively bright one The track was simply hor Thor ¬ rible rile and the horses hoofs sank deep into the soil Water slopped everywhere There was no fire in the betting ring but the hot ones made good for this and Virginia Carroll was so heated up after being singed on the first race that he told a dollar bettor who tried to wager on Nannie Nannies Ls sister to Go see General Miles facetiously referring to a field bookmaker who chances to resemble the general of the United States army armyWeather ammeter Weather conditions do more to injure racing other unfavorable influences com ¬ bined binned and it seems a pity that The Columbia Stakes SI SCO SCOT added two and oneeighth neigh miles should have come up for decision when the track was a quagmire The Harlem people had here given up more money than has here ¬ tofore twofer this season been in sight at Chicago for the class of horses engaged Bat there was nothiug nothing to do but run the race as racing as ¬ sociations spoliations every where announce race rain or shine in this matter being handicapped as against the managers of trotting who invari invariant ¬ ably postpone big stake eveats

this race but knowing this John Glenn laid 13 to 5 at the post other bookmakers having up 11 to 5 And Frank Jaubert Jabber was never better than absolutely although until the last threeeighths he had Croesus Cress for company The horses started oa their long journey in a driving rainstorm the falling drops feeling like icecold Cecil pellets pelletsBoanerges electioneered Boanerges Beaneries went out and ran the first mile as fast as Moch Mooch had covered the distance He was here nearly one sixteenth of a mile in front of Forte he eight lengths better than Elusive she six lengths ahead of the others Such cheering and yelling as now rent the air have seldom been heard and people forgot the storm and were soundly soaked as they voiced the cries of I guess they will catch him nit Why hes hems only galloping etc But eatering catering the backstretch with three quarters of a mila Milan to be traversed to where the money was hung up t jkiartisaiio of Dunae Dune began to dance and vell ell git gait him Eat him up Forte and sure enough the tremendous gap had closed and Forte was only ten lengths behiud behind Boan Ban ¬ erges merges Creeping were the horses but the leader was weakening at

scented to the Board of Appeals Carnero Caner the 6 to 5 favorite was never in the hunt huntBarney henbane Barney Schreibar Schreiber recently sold Dr Marks to J J Donovan and threw Moch Mooch in to give good weight In the second race yesterday the former owner of Moch Mooch laid the longest price in the ring against the horse and the new owner backed him Moch Mooch led all the way and Donovan
