Why Wilmington has had no Rocss.

"Wilmington has had no races this season
and never will have as long as people show
SO little enterprise as they have" This was
the remark of an old sporting man of this
city to representative of The HERALD
Yesterday, In answer to enquiries made OF
him concerning the reason that Wilmington
has had no races this season and at the
same time there being good racing stock In
this city. He stated that an excellent oppor-
tunity was afforded our people to arrange
series of races not long since. A gentleman
from West Chester, named Pyle, moved here
and took stables at the race course, but
found the owners of horses SO little disposed
towards racing that he moved away few
weeks since and took all his stock to Point
Breeze Park, Philadelphia.

Mrs. McKeowen to remove the body to his

He was at one time tender Of the bridg Of

he was at the Sixth Ward polls In company
with VIM. D,ran and Patrick Murphy. In

At about ~ O'Clock saw policeman Nick
erson, who advised him to 60 home. He
refused, and wanted to enter B0nner's So
loon, Fifth and Spruce streets. He refused
him anything to drink except soda which he
gave him at the door. After this he entered
another saloon and drank only Centennial,
non intoxicating beer. He was evidently Ii
liquor, but seemed evidently in liquor, but
seemed able to lake care of himself, and at
1915 he promised McKeowan to 60 home
and apparently left with that intention. Il
seems, however, that he has been in the
habit of going down to see watchman
named Mcguire, on one of the wharves ad-
jacent and had promised him to go there
that night and tell him the result Of the
election, and probably altering his mind
went there instead of home to fulfill his
premise, and becoming confused walked of
the wharf into the water. a+,.
The jury, after consideration, returned
the verdict that the deceased cano to his
death by accidental drowning. 4
A gold watch and chain was on his body
when found, and some money, aud no other
conclusion could bc reached. 6t4
