Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-12-10

exciting incidents at the track of the
Wheeling Jockey Club yesterday. There
was further improvement in the al
tendance, and the success OF the meet
ing is practically assured. The track
was in good shape, and the time was
faster than for several days. Owing to
delay in starting 1t was almost dark
when the last race was run. The
racing was the best of the meeting.
Before the first event Judge Ed. Waugh
gave personal, notice to all the horse
owners and riders, that dishonest rae
ing will not be tolerated, and will meet
with severe penalties.
In spite of this. however, Judge
Waugh found it necessary to substi-
tute Norris for Fitzgerald on Jewsharp,
because of his well-grounded suspicion
that the horse was dead 'un" in the
last race Jewsharr was marked up
at even money, and closed at 8 to l.
Cusie Howe was a 3 to favorite,
heavily backed at the track and in the
Eastern pool rooms They offered
to / against Mooyer, and just before
the horses went to the post, telegram
received at the track conveyed the in
formation that in number of rooms
all the betting was on Mooyer.
This insured bona fide race between
Mooyer and Howe. but the change
on Jewsharp was attended with good
results Bad actors delayed the drop
of the flag. Mooyer led by two lengths
at the first turn. and On coming into
the front stretch all were punched.
Norris then sent Jewsharp to the trout,
and he made the running to the finish.
Mower and Howe were running neck
and neck up the back stretch, three
lengths behind Jewsharp, and grad
ually cutting down the lead On the
upper turn Howe went length in
front of Mooyer and on the home
stretch the three leaders were under
the whip. Ten yards from the finish
Howe and Jewsharp were running
like team length in front Of Mooyer,
and Jewsharp by final burst of speed
showed his nose in front.
The first race was also marked by
an exciting finish, Harry C. stubbornly
contesting every inch OF the distance
with the winner, Tim Hurst.
The second race resulted in the first
victory for Oscar Gardner. formerly
