The Washington times., 1895-02-01

After six ordinary races that were not
altogether satisfactory from the view point of
the talent. the meeting at Alexander Island
closed yesterday. aud the gates viii remain
shut during the month OF February. The
scene Of the struggles Of the sellinE-platers
viii al once be transferred to Baltimore, as a
meeting will be commenced February on
the half-mile Arlington track, and continue
thirty days il the agents OF the law do not
interfere.
The fact that there viii be racing at Balti-
mo.e became widely known yesterday, and
it is likely that nearly all OF the regulars nov
in the city viii so, together with many of the
horses now quar;erei at tho Island track.
The personnel OF the new club is very ike
the Newtown Jockey Club. which operated
the Maspeth merry-go-round. MAJOR Wheeler
will ho Judge. NJ. French the starter. and
Secretary Stillwell viii make up the pro-
Erammc. George Engeman Is believed 10 De
the principal hacker OF the scheme. The
meeting will com ortably all up the interval
which will elapse before the Old Dominion
and Virginia Jockey Clubs will open.
The starting OF Mr.. Cassidy AT the local
track was very ragged again yesterday. Two
favOrItes WoD. and in the first race appeared.
for the first time in some years. the great
sprinter Civil Service. The old horse gal
loped home. carrying the wagers OF the ma
joIity OF the spectators. Stnngfsllow was 60
ing 10 the post in the opening event. when
the judges noticed that the gelding had big
lump on the side of his neck. An inyeStiga-
tion showed that the horse had been given an
injection. He was scratched at once and
twenty minutes given for a new book.
The horse was ruled or together with the
trainer. O'Shannon, and Jockey Dorsey.
Owner G. +. King was eNoneraled, as the
trainer confessed that ne was alone respon-
sible. He said that he was poor man with
a wife and children. and took chance to
win out a stake. Dorsey rode Blackburn
when the latter was injected some time ago
and escaped. aud consequently no leniency
was shown in his case. The summaries:
