Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-12-08

The attendance at the running races
of the Wheeling Jockey Club yester-
day was limited to the betting frater-
nifty, the weather being most uninvit
ing for spectators. There was fair
sized crowd, and considerable interest
about the bOokmakers stalls. Snow
fell during the entire afternoon, and
the wind drove it about occasionally
in such a manner as to obscure the
horses and make it difficult to distin-
guish the colors.
The racing was excellent. The first
and second events resulted in victories
for strong favorites, Julana and Back
Back respectively. The third was a
very pretty contest, with several
changes in position during the race.
Frank Hough won handily by a burst
of speed on the home stretch.
Worry Not and J. B. were equal
choices in the fourth race, which was
for three-year-olds and upwards, who
had not been first, second or third DUR
ing the meeting. J. BIS performances
have been rather erratic, but he was in
good form yesterday. He set the pace
from the drop of the flag, but was not
permitted to loaf On the front
stretch Worry Not was running sec
ond and Gallatin was coming fast,
with the field strung out in procession.
Fitzsimmons had been saving Tomoka,
and on the last turn allowed his mount
to cut loose, finishing close second
to J. B.
Some of the cracks were entered in
the last race, and Jewsharp was mark
ed up at even money, closing at L 10 q.
Jonah White was a strong second
choice. The Maxwell starting gate
was out of order and there was con-
seuuently long delay at the post.
Jewsharps chances were ruined IN the
breakaways. White led the entire dis
lance. Jewsharp showed nice speed
going I'D the back stretch, ana mad all
but collared the leaders when F'inne-
more urged White and he shot aheao
full length, winning handily. GOV.
Griggs made a great run In the nome
stretch. going into third place and I'M
