LATE SPORTING NEWS
RACING IN VIRGINIA.
Sport at the Two Tracks Beyond the
Long Bridge.

Long Bridge.
The Virginia Jockey Club yesterday pro-
vided the best racing of the St. Asaph
meeting, and 1t was day of racing which
compared favorably with that seen on the
big tracks of the country. The fields were,
on an average larger than on any other
but the first day of the meeting, and the
newly adopted rule of requiring a with
drawal fee of $40 for horses scratched will
insure large fields hereafter. The Walbaum
and Morris stables have notified the club
they they will be at the track next week,
and to accommodate them new stables are
being erected. Lamplighter is one Of the
horses expected in the Walbaum stable.
Three favorites, Jack Of Spades, Longbrook
and Sally Woodford, second choice, Song
and Dance; a third choice, Declare, and
an outsider, Curious, added winning brack-
cts to their score, and on the whole the
public got little the better of the boobies.
The Declare race was perhaps the heavi-
est betting event of the meeting, and for a
while IT was question which of the three,
Declare, Harrington or Candelabra, was the
favorite but just as they went to the post
good as 3 to 1 could be had against the
winner. 1t was great race, and the Dwyer
contingent cashed a neat sum. Song and
Dances race was the best of the day, IL not
of the meeting, he winning by simply now
ing his field down from the extreme rear.
