WHOLE STABLE RULED OFF
FroIiesOme Lass Owner and
Jockey, for CrOOkedness.
CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
New Administration at st. Asaph
Show They Are Not to BE Trtfled
With-Large Crowd in Attendance
at the Reopening of the Clubs
Gates-Boolies Quit bout Even.

If the Virginia Jockey Club continues
the hepolicy it pursued yesterday and promptly
metes out punishment to all offenders,
successful meeting is assured.
The Summertime affair brought the
track so unfavorably before the public
that even under an entire new management
it's future success was very doubtful.
Yesterday a case of pulling occurred
that gave them the chance to show whether
or not the promised reform was bona fide,
and they settled at once any doubts in
that direction by promptly ruling off every
one connected with the fraud.
It was the third race on the card, and
the six-year-oId mare Imp. Frolicsome
Lass was made TO 10 favorite. Sew
eral weeks ago P. G. Brady, her owner, was
ordered to take his horse away from the
Island track.
For this reason Secretary Stillweil was
very chary OF receiving the entry. Brady
made such good excuses, no weYer, that she
was allowed to start. Neel had the mount,
and to use ii slang phrase, he didn't do u
thing" to the Lass.
She broke in second position with Room
ton and ran there with her head swinging
to the far turn. At this juDcture she could
have come through and won handily. but
Mr. Eeel swung on like grim death, aud
going wide on the turn was fourth coming
into the stretch.
COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN THIRD.
The boy could not hold her and she came
again in the last furloug. Twenty yards
from the wire she was an easy third, when
Neel deliberately took both hands and
pulled her head sack of Julia l..
Even Jack White, q boOkmaker who
had won heavily on her defeat, was SO
| thoroughly alive TO the harm that is done
racing by such daylight robbeFies. that
| be went TO the judges and demanded that
| every one connected with The uisgracefui
affair be ruled Off.
An iuvesfi "a tieu was held after the
sixth race, and Brady, Neel aud the horse
| were ruled off.
Tom FLYNN, Of Gloucester fame, handled
the flat z, and did spIendidly in every race
| except the two-year-old event. What
| land was a heavily played Gecond Choice,
| aud the flag went down when -Ie vas up
| in the air.
An accident that may have srriotus con-
| sequences occurred in the fourth race.
| Goiug around the upper turn Annorean
| fell a nd threw j. Murphy. The boy landed
| on the back of his head, and when picked
up was suffering intense pain.
LONG SHOT GOT THE FIRST.
Theopeuiugs offtvcfu-;onss went
favorite, being played from 3 to L down
| to 8 10 o. To a good start sharon got
off in front and was never caught, Win
ming easily by four lengths, froa Clement.
Charma looked to have the second race
| cinched, and was made a / to 4 shot.
| She got the worst of the start. but came
! throug hwhen She pleased and won easily
! from Loshade, who was played heavily
! for the place.
Another long shot turned up in the third
| event. Boonton was a 10 10 / shot, and
| racing out in front the whole trip, won by
three lengths on Suffrance. Imp Holyport,
| another long shot, was second.
Key West simply had to gailop to capture
| the fourth race. He went to the post z
| to 10 favorite. with Billy Eoy second
choice at Z TO 2. They finished in this
| order, with Mirage third.
| Jim Mclaughlin and Pirate Chief far
| outclassed their field in the fifth race, and
| the former was made a TO 10 fayorite.
| He led all the way, and won easily from
| Pirate Chief, who was whipped cut to
! beat Moderate.
Venusburg was hot tip in the closing
| event, being played from fours down to
to l. She got off in front, and leading all
the way, landed the money by five lengths
