SIMS WAS NJ GREAT FORM
-INfA-
Rode Four Winners Yesterday at St.
Asaphs junction.
The Track Was Fast and the Betting
Wa. Brisk and, the Arrange
ments w ere Excellent.

The first days racing of the virginia
Jockey Club yesterday was as stated in
The Star. not onH largely attended, but
was productive of sowe of the finest con-
tests seen in this yicinity for many years.
The starting of Jimmy Rowe was simply
perfection, the starts being prompt and
even throughout. Willie Sims, the crack
colored jockey, was at his best and he not
only had the honor of plotting the first win
ner over the new track. but also won the
foui races in which he rode. he was in
great form. and had his mounts been
backed straight through, placing 81 on the
first race and betting the winnings in each
race, his efforts would have enriched his
hackers just $at2 fer the day
The track was fast. ani the mile of Song
and Dance. in I.42 IL. was excellent time
over a new track. The mile and one sin
teenth of Patriciau, in 1.i9 ii, was also an
excellent showing.
While the French mutuars were not
largely p1troniZed. the tn enty bOokma kers
were kept busy attending 10 the wants OF
the specializing public. and it was abort
even thing between the talent and the
bookies. The judges were X. w. Simmous
and Clarence mellow ell, the stewards being
State Senator Henry F&irfdN OF Virginia,
NJ. F. Dwytr end Samuel Ross. Several
stables arriN Cd yesterday. ami more will
