"You will try to win this race, or I'll
give you a good long rest"
This was Judge Waugh's warning to
Jockey Nelson as he rode Blue Ribbon
to the post for the second race yester-
day afternoon. Nelson disregarded the
warning, and was promptly ruled OH
the track. This was another evidence
that the association was in earnest
when the announcement was made that
nothing but honest racing will be toler-
ated at the winter meeting of the
Wheeling Jockey club Judge Waugh's
course is commended by all except
those who would profit by fixed"
races. The betting fraternity, espec-
ic lly, has confidence in him.
Nelson was not to permit Blue Rib
bon to show in the race, but his mount
had all kinds of speed, and the best
that Nelson could do. while pretending
to drive to win, was to permit Corn
Cob to go under the wire first. The
pulling was done on the back stretch.
The first race was won in a hard
drive by William M, to l, who peat
all the favorites Worry Not was Sec
ond choice in the third race, which was
very pretty. Bellsarius behaved badly
and delayed the start. Tim Hurst, the
favorite, led to the upper turn, and
Worry Not ran neck and neck with
him down the front stretch, and went
under the wire half length ahead, by
a burst of speed. Bessie Abbott was
third.
There were several bad actors in the
fourth race, and the gate was thrown
down twice before the flag dropped
Lulu B. led for three furlongs, with the
favorite, Judge Warren, half a dozen
lengths behind. Sampson was at her
heels, however, and both riders urged
their mounts at the finish. The two
horses ran neck and neck for hun
dred yards, when Sampson showed his
nose in front and won by very mar
row margin.
Silver Brook gave a magnificent ex-
hibition in the six furlong race. Fin
water started a half length ahead of
the field, and increased the lead two
lengths on the first turn. Arion and
Silver Brook were coming along nicely
a few lengths behind, gradually clos
ing up the gap. On the back stretch,
Arion shot to the front and Finwater
dropped behind Silver Brook, beaten
horse. Not more than two lengths
separated the first and last horses on
the final turn. Then Newton urged Sill
yer Brook and he shot to the front and
galloped in an easy winner. ]. B. was
third.
