The Washington times., 1894-12-01

The meeting of the Virginia Jockey Club at
st. Asaph came to a close yesterday with good
racing and big crowd despite the rain.
Jockey Sims established a new record by rid
ing Equity, the winner of the last race, he
having also rode Leonawell, winner of the
opening race of the meeting on October is.
The jockey club has made some money, the
losses of the opening weeks being more than
made up. Many of the bookmakers and
horse owners will go to New Orleans or Cali
fornia. while others will go to the Alexander
Island course.
Favorites were successful in only two
events, while short horses had the call in the
others. The special race was declared Off
but the run of of the dead heat in the open
ing event filed out the card, and the sport
was considerably above the average. Lady
Richmond's running was a vast Improvement
over her former attempts. Summaries:
