There was a good attendance upon
the second day of the running meet
ing Of the Wheeling Jockey Club, and
the crowd is expected to increase in
numbers each day. Many visiting
horsemen make their headquarters in
the betting ring, and the book-makers
will be kept busy when the races are
fairly under way. This afternoon Nc
Laughlin & Co. will open a foreign
book, which will be an additional at
traction for patrons of the track.
1t was a day for favorites. First
choices took first and second monies in
all the races. The first and second
events on the card for the afternoon
were very closely contested, but the
winners had matters their own way at
the finish. The third was one of the
best races of the day. High Ball, who
was prime favorite with the book
ies." led the field at the start, hard
pushed for the place by Mooyer, who
had been backed down from 8 to l to
even money. On entering the back
stretch Mooyer was almost neck and
neck with High Ball, and the two
maintained their relative positions
without change until after going
around the last turn, when the pace
told on Mooyer, who began to lose
ground. Lynch applied the whip, but
High Ball gradually pulled away and
went under the wire an easy winner
by two lengths. Dutch Buster fell
out at the start, and the others were
strung along in procession, Little Lady
leading, and finishing four lengths be-
hind Mooyer.
The start was prompt on the fourth
race, and Elvin Crane, formerly Dew
ey, pushed Viola Albers hard for first
place, finishing a half length behind
and a length in front of Ensign.
Everybody bought Silver BROOK in the
last race, and the gelding wor it han
Oily. Susie Howe made it 4 race for
half the distance, then dropped back
into second place, finishing fwo lengths
ahead of Judge Warren.
