There have not been many days this season when there have been muddy tracks and there is not much form to go by The card was a good one in its origin« al form, but it was cut considerably by scratches. It nevertheless proved very fair sport in spite of the mud. Rain has no terrora for the race-golng community any longer, and there was almost as large an attendance aa there would have been on a warm, sunny afternoon. Betting was fairly lively, but there were so many books on that lack of business was the complaint of the layers. Senator T, D, Sullivan bought Vaasal Dance from J. Grant Lyman before the Military Parade Lowering skies and an atmosphere heavy with mist and smoke greeted the distinguished French visitors in the Rochambeau party when they ar- iived in New York to-day, But neither the thickness overhead to diminish the exhibition of good will manifested by the thousands who greeted them at the Battery and lined the route of the parade. The rain ceased just before the arrival of ie party and the stiff wind dried the decorations so that the flags whipped and fluttered as gayly as though the sun had been shining. The trip down the river from West Point, where the distinguished visitors reviewed the cadets in a pouring rain, was not particularly exhilarating. The Palisades were hidden in clouds of rain for most of the distance, and the strangers remained closed in the cabin of the Dolphin. Mayor Low's steam yacht, on which he went to West Point early in the morning, acted as escort to the Dolphin in the trip down the river. The Mayor returned by train In order to be on hand at the reception in the City Hall. Big Crowd Welcomes Them.
