There is one feature about these
races commendable to the manage
incnt. There are no "whcels within
wheels" no put up jobs, or in other
words, parties arc not allowed to ar
range races to come out to suit them |
selves and win money. Col. Simpson
informed your reporter that such a
thing would not be tolerated for mo-
ment.
Wade Hampton pulls tho jockeys
occasionally up before him and gives
them "song" about the rules and reg
and tells them that they will
be fined, etc. for violation Of any of
them. Everything is strictly first-class.
