Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ST. ASAPH, Va, October 2o.-The cold,
threatening weather did not materially re-
duce the attendance this afternoon at the
sixth days racing of the Virginia Jockey
Club, and both special trains to the track
We're crowded. The rain of last evening
had little effect on the track, beyond doing
what the club has so far failed to do, lay
ing the dust, and it is hardly wet enough
to give the mud iarks chance. The club
has experienced some difficulty in securing
large fields and 1t Is . .derstood that here
after those scratching will be required to
pay for the privilege, which rule, II Is be-
lieved, Will insure large fields.
Mr.. George III. Engeman of Brighton
Beach farm. and who Is under indictment
for attempting winter racing at the Ivy
City track last December, has been at the
track, and il is rumored that he Is endeavor-
ing to lease it for the purpose of conducting
a meeting running from December l to
the LIST of next March. The officials of the
st. Asaph track say that no such arrange
ment has been made, nor is one contemplate
ed by them. Nevertheless, 1t is insisted by
many at the track today that Engeman is
using every endeaVcr to lease the track for
winter meeting, and that II he succeeds
he will run 1t quite Independently of what
the Alexander Island people may do.
Respecting the published statement that
overtures had been made looking to an
agreement for division of dates, it was
stated on excellent authority this afternoon
that the Alexander Island people had neither
made such overture nor had they the slight
est intention of making any such agreement
with the st. Asaph people. Indeed, 1t was
stated on abe same authority that such an
agreement would never be made. 1t was a
fight to the finish, 1t was asserted no mat
ter how profitable a division of dates might
be. This determination of the Alex
ander Island people was expressed, 1T is
said, when it was suggested by a person
fri RI hat ettnh
agreement should be reached. The PROPOSE
ton was, however, made entirely on the re-
sponsibility of this party, his intercesson in
behalf of harmony being neither suggest ed
nor authorized by the ST. Asaph people.
One thing is certain, however, and that
is that the st. Asaph people will run their
meeting out, no matter If it should not pay
more than expenses. 1t is believed, though,
that they would not object to making an
amcable arrangement for a division of
dates.
Twenty bookmakers did business today,
