The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-08-19


In the first heat Dave II won in fine
style, and If he had had the training the
others had received might have done
much better. He seemed to have lost
heart, however, and his after perform
ance did not come up to the expecta-
tons that had been formed. When the
fourth heat was trotted Payton had
won two heats and Daisy one. 1t was
then getting pretty late, and the owners
decided not to send their horses around
again.
In the third race, trot, @. N. Han
cher's Toney G., and DR.. Leon Refers
Buttons. came to the stretch. In the
first heat Buttons came under the wire
first, and Toney G came in first in the
next three heats. In the third heat
Buttons actually came under first, but
Mr.. Hancher claimed a foul and was
given first place in that heat. Toney
G. had the pole in coming down the
finish on the half-mile, and DIR. Refer
drew in ahead Of him. It looked for a
moment as II the wheels Of each sulky
would come together and smash up
result, but bygood driving, Mr.. Hancher
got out safe. DR.. Refer claimed that
Mr.. Hancher had done the same thing
to him on the quarter stretch, but Mr..
Hancher's claim OF foul was allowed.
The time was $3.50, 2:43. 2:43, 2:4S.
The running race was pretty. There
came to the scratch the four horses en-
tered: Mystery, owned by u. ]. Fau-
bel; You Bet, owned by William
Chambers; Singleton, owned by NJ.
Zane, and Midnight, owned by E. B.
Franzheim. Mr.. Franzheim rode his
own horse.
You Bet won both heats; the time in
the first heat was one minute, and in
hesecond 50 seconds. When the sec
ondN heat began Midnight closed up
against You Bet, and everybody in the
judges stand expected to see the color
ed boy, who rode the latter, injured by
being rubbed against the fence. He re-
taliated, by whipping Midnight over
the nose, and by winning the race,
ing horses came to the stretch: Honest
George, H. w. Mcclure; Habberfield
Wilkes, John Habber6eld; Butcher Boy.
A. w. Stoehr; Factory o, N. B. Scott;
Roller Boy, John Auber. Only two
heats were trotted, and darkness COM
PEELED the race to be called of. The
first heatwas won by Butcher Boy; time,
1854. The second heatwas won by Hab-
bertield Wilkes.
When the first heat Of the first race
had been paced Ed Newland, of Martins
Ferry, complained that the boy who
drove A. j. Sweeney's mare Topsy had
pulled her, and asked for another driver,
He insinuated that things had q crooked
look, but explained that he didn't mean
to assert that the judges had anything
to do with It. After the second heat
Newland again preferred his request,
and selected driver. As the horses
were then getting ready to score, Mr..
Newland,s selection refused to drive.
The third heat was paced, and Topsy, the
mare on whom the Martins Ferry man
had bet his money, came in fourth.
This was gall and NORWOOD to Mr..
Newland, and he shouted out an insult
to the judges, which was heard with
much indignation by the spectators.
When Mr.. Darah, the starter, an
nouuced that he fined Mr.. Newland $50
and barred him from the tracks Of the
national association loud applause
greeted his action.
Mr.. Newland afterward told an INTEL
IroENcER reporter, that he did not
mean TO accuse the boy, who drove
Topsy, Of dishonesty, but he did assert,
that the boy couldn't drive q horse,
and should not have been allowed on
the track.
It is q mooted question, whether the
fine and penalty imposed by Starter
Darrah will hold. IE Ii claimed that
