OF THE WHEELING JOCKEY CLUB.
RESULTS OF YESTERDAYS GAMES
IN THE NATIONAL AND INTER-
STATE LEAGUES-THE BOWLING
HANDICAP AT MOZART PARK.
RESULTS OF ONTESTS-BOXING
= AND OTHER SPORTING MATTERS.
The Wheeling Jockey Club has been
peculiarly unfortunate in its conduct
of the running race meeting at the
State Fair Grounds. Rain has caused
the postponement of races at least malt
of the days which were scheduled. The
storm usually comes at time when the
patrons would be on their road to the
track. An instance was furnished yes
terday, when the rain, which began to
fall in the morning, came down so
heavily, shortly after noon. that the
club was forced to postpone the pro-
grasnme for the afternoon. On ac-
count of the outing Of the Wheeling
Turnverein, there will be no racing
this afternoon. Yesterdays programme
will be carried out tomorrow.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the hurdle race, which is to
take place next Saturday afternoon.
There will be at least eight entries, al
though six would be sufficient. Many
of the runners now at the grounds are
being schooled for the hurdle race.
That the race will prove exciting and
a big drawing card cannot be doubted.
Fort Wayne, Ind, August 8.-Grand
circuit races went over until tC-mor
row on account of rain.
