The RACE TRAcK.-It was stated in
the GAZETTE yesterday that the racing
season at St. Asaph would close to-day.
This programme was carried out and
the racing ended this evening for the
season of 1891 with the expiration of
the Jockey Clubs license.
The Virginia Jockey Club officials at
meeting Wednesday night decided
10 abide by the decision of the stewards
Of the national organization in refusing
10 sanction the extentiop of time. 1t
appears that opinions were divided
smons the club people on the question
Of extending the meeting, and MIR. j.
NJ. Hills decision TO close to-day set
tied the matter, Mr.. Hills action being
due TO representations made him of
probable interference on the part of
Governor 0'Ferrall.
secretary Hugh d. Mcintyre an
pouuced Yesterday that there has been
no intention at any time to secede from
the Jockey Club, and that the organiza-
ton which he represents will be among
the last to haul down the standard Of
iheparent body.
Prominent turfmen are understood
to nave brought influence to bear on
the management to revoke their de-
termination announced Wednesday
that the sport would continue through
ont December. Some of the stables
probably will go South, while a number
will give their horses q rest until the
next racing season.
II is stated that the St. Asaph track
will reopen its gates on the first day
of March for q spring meeting, and
that if there is no racing in New York
next year it is probable racing will be
continued throughout the summer.
There is general belief among those
who are interested in the matter that
Inc Dryer Brothers were the men who
prevailed upon the owners of the track
10 discontinue the meeting. 1t is well
known that they were opposed to 1t,
aud That their advice was sought by
the officials. The determination not to
race met with the utmost approval by
the more prominent horsemen.
In reference to the matter some OF
the officers of the Virginia Jockey Club
in this city said to-day, that the club
had decided not to have winter racing
in difference to public sentiment. They
said that while the weather was mild
they really saw no objection to racing,
but az public sentiment was against
such racing they decided to close the
season with the last fall month.
1t is understood that tenpins and
other sports will be kept up at the
course during the winter and that the
club will open pools on the New Or
LEAFS and San Francisco winter races.
Mr. Hill says that he expects at least
800 horses will remain at st. Asaph
during the winter as they can be furn-
shed with as good and as cheap accom-
modations there as anywhere else.

STERLING. KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, MAY %, 1894
Montgomery County Sunday
School Union.

The Annual Montgomery Coun-
ty Convention of the Kentucky
Sunday School Union will be held
at Towards Mills on June Is, be-
ing the third Friday in June, in
stead of the second Friday, as. has
been reported. 1t is desired to
make this special Sunday-school
occasion, and to this end it is
hoped all Sunday-school workers
in every Sunday-school in the
county, as well as all who feel any
interest in the successful results of
this department of Christian work,
will feel that their presence is
necessary and demanded. Let
each bring all interested persons
possible. We hope all points in
the county will be fully represent
ed
The special programme will be
published next week in all the
county papers.
There will assuredly be large
attendance, possibly exceeding the
immense throng of last year at
Antioch. The immediate vicin-
ity of Towards Mills being rather
sparsely settled, though cheerful
and liberal in willing hospitality,
we desire, timely, to request that
all who can possibly do sosh,,ll bring
well-filled baskets, that provisions
may be ample, and that the occa-
sion may not be allowed to be a
burden in any degree upon the
good people of the Towards Mills
vicinity; for while they are very
cordial in their desire that the
Convention shall be fully and
handsomely entertained, yet this
being a whole county interest and
meeting, and put by convention APP
pointment at this place without
special regard to local request or
protest We feel confident assurance
that all will appreciate the situa-
ton as it is, and see to it that
these good people shall not be i'm
posed on by any unequal burden of
entertainment. A little thought
and preparation by those who cas-
lily can, will insure light burden
on all, a full hospitality, and pro-
fitable, successful day for the Sun
day school interests at issue, as
well as for all who attend.
Let this be whole county rally,
indeed, and in the spirit of the
Master, for Sunday-school pro-
gress all along the line.
See further announcements next
week.
