THE FOURTH DAYS RACES.

A hurdle race was the principal fea-
ture OF to-day's programme, and quite
large assemblage was attracted by it. The
weather is most excellent, neither hot nor
cold, although in the earlier part of the
day the air was somewhat raw. Pool sell
ing was tame, and yet some very heavy
pools were made. Opinions regarding
the status of the association are freely
broaohed i'll the pool room, and loud de-
nunciations are uttered by men whose
favorites have been defrauded Of their
rights. In the hurdle race. MeDAn'"r,'
Oysterman, Jr., was the favoriIe' as usual
and in the last race Belmonts Glenelg
had the call All of the horses entered
in the several races came to the post.

MIsMANAGEMENT - WHAT is SAID
OF rT-FoURTH DAYS RACES
GOSSIP, ETC.
SARATOGA. August IL

SARATOGA, August 10.
The principal topic of discussion here
is the discovery of foul dealing by the
Saratoga Association. For long time 1t
has been known that there was a ring
which managed Jerome Park, and the
track at this place also. The Chief marks
of their management are the substitution
Of clash races" for cheat races. and the
use of flag in starting. This last point
is evidently intended for base purposes, as
80 MANY times are bad starts made. The
manner in which Glenelg was defeated In
the third race to-day is another proof of
the deception practiced. The starter is
Mr.. Charles Wheatly, who is also seore-
tary of the association. Some persons
even 90 50 far as to hint that he has had
money for starting certain horses ahead
of others. Messrs. Morrissey AID TrAvers
are endeavoring to quiet affairs by proinls-
ing Mr.. Wheatly's removal. doubt
though that they will succeed even ~

only cause of grumbling. The "~so'' non

that unless a change of aff4ira "a, '"fy
will not bring their animals to l"e N'ssh.
They say there is no profit. U..le-T they
have experienced jockeys many false
starts are made through the flag nuisance
| and enormous fines are the result. Any
green rider can start a horse at the tap OF
drum. The patrons Of the track assert
that it is a petty cheat to charge three
dollars for a few minutes sport. There
is also, underhand dealing disc~rnable IN
the walk-over OF Helmbold to-day. The
purse was only $500 for distance Of two
and three-quarter miles, while for some
shorter distances the purse was between
ST. 900 to $1,000. Owners of horses would
not enter them against such well-knowr
animal for sxch a small purse, and witt
such odds against their entries.

THE FIRST RACE

This was hurdle race for $500 to the
winner and 500 to the second horse.
The distance was two miles, and elght
hurdles were to be leaped. McDanlels
Oysternan, Jr., ELVES Sir Joseph, Grand's
Raven, and Gray's Morris were entered.
Oysterman went off with the lead, Sir
Joseph in the second place. The faNorite
led during the first mile, Morris and Sir
Joseph being alternately second. In the
first quarter of the last mile, it wac fear
ed that Morris would lead them a!l but
Oysterman gained with each leap and
could not be headed. After they went
over the seventh hurdle Morris and Si1
Joseph tapped the favorite, and to the
last hurdle they were even. Oysterman
went over first and rushed under the
string a length ahead of Morris. The
leaping of Oysterman is beautiful. lie il
not fast between the hurdles; but hi
takes the jump so gracefully and with
such ease that loud applause is otter
drawn out. The following is the

THE THIRD RACE.

This was very interesting rae" and
much money was staked on the result.
The distance was mile and d half, tor a
purse of $500. give one pool as follows:
Glenelg, $500; Judge Curtis, $500;
field, 1925. The place of starting was at
the half-mile pole on the opposite side OF
the track from the grand stand. Your
correspondent was near and witnessed
the start. The starter announced the posi-
tions as follows Glenelg had the inside,
Gen. York next, Tom Voolfolk third, and
Judge Curtis outside. He further said
that there was too much money staked to
give a bad start, and he would keep hem
all day until good one was effected. He
told the riders to walk the b rses up to
him for the signal. GlenelE y IS partial
ly turned, facing the starter when the
other horses jumped away, a"d the flag
was thrown down in the face Of Glenelg,
causing him to turn completely around
and giving the others lead OF half a
dozen lengths. The bystanders shouted
to the rider go" and he did gallantly
hurry after tie others, having second place
as they entered the full mile. 1t the first
quarter was entered the pre-" bees were
fair for the favorite, but Curt maintain
ed his lead, As they entered the home
stretch, Glenelg again went forward, bu
was unsuccessful, and Judge Curtis passed

The DRUMMER Boy OF SHILOH
Washington Hall never held as many
people at one time as on Saturday
night, and hundreds wtre obliged to go
away without obtaining admission.
The sue ness of this drama here is some
thing without a parallel in the dramatic
history of Wheeling. The play has no
striking literary merit but abounds in
fine points, thrilling situations and mag
nifcent tableaux. The parts were all
well rendered, from the highest to the
lowest and our citizens evinced their
appreciation of their home talent by
abundantly patronizing the performance.
We have heared no official report of the
amount cleared but are of the opinion
that it will be somewhere near $500.
This amount judiciously expended, as
we are confident it will be- will, this
winter, keep the wolf from the door of
many of the widows and orphans of
those who fell in defense OF the Union.

THE SPIVINS THE VICTOR.
The UncOnquerable POcaliOn-
tas Conquered.

The announcement OF the boat race on
Saturday afternoon between the Spivins,
owned bv the Clarkson Boat Club, OF
this city, and the PoCahontas, owned by
the Ne Plus Ultra Boat Club Of Mar
tinsyille, Ohio, drew out an immense
crowd of spectators to witness the con-
test. They thronged the Suspension
bridge and lined the river bank as far
up as the boat yard. 1t was trial Of
speed between boat that had never
lost a race and one that was entered for
her first race. The course is from the
Martinsville Glass House TO the Sus-
pension bridge, about mile and three
quarters.
The word 20 was given at twenty
minutes to four o clock, the Pocahontas
having the inside track, and the start
was as even as could he, neither boat
having an inch the advantage They
ran side by side for about twenty yards,
when the Spivins crew gave a little
squirt that sent their craft her full
length ahead, crossing the bow of the
Pocahoutas and taking the shorter
track.
The Spivins continually increased the
distance between her and her opponent,
winning the race by about seventy-fve
yards, amid the shouts of the people,
thus justifying our prediction that the
Spivins, manned as she is 10y such ath
letes and experienced oarsmen as Tom
Shelly and Johnny Hagner, was sure to
get away with the Indian beauty, even
though Henry Sweeney and Tom Char
lesion did handle the ash in her.
After the race was ended or enthu-
siastic friend, Kennedy Friend, Esq,
presented the Spiyins with deers
head and horns, handsomely carved in
wood. Is there a boat on tie river that
can capture those horns? We doubt it.
The Spivins now floats the champion
of these waters. She has conquered
the heretofore uncomfortable Pocahon-
tas, and we have an individual pride in
believing that there is no skiff vet built
that can beat our namesake Success
to her and her noble crew. I'VE take

Hoofand's German Tonic

Wascompounded for those not inclined 10
extreme bltters, and is intended for use In
cases when some alcoholic stimulant Is re-
auired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties Of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ Rum, and favored
in such a manner that the extreme bitter
ness OF the Bitters is overcome, forming
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate, and containing the medical
virtues Of the Bltters. The price of the
Tonic is sl.5O per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used IL
guaranteed to be OF a pure quality. A poor
article could be furnished at cheaper price,
but is It not better to pay little more and
have a good article? A medicinal prepara-
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dents, and they who expect to obtain a
cheap compound will most certainly be
cheated.
