AND OTHER SPORTING MATTERS.
4 The weather was bright for the
eighteenth day Of the running race
meeting of the Wheeling Jockey
Club. The track was fast. Favor
ties took all the races but the first
and last IL the former Sister Ida,
1G to /, and Arundel, 80 to l. beat 3
to 5 and to favorites. To-day the
races will be given as a feature OF the
Cathedral parish picnic, and the spe-
cial programme which has been ar
ranged includes a mile and one-eighth
hurdle race.
In the first race yesterday the start
was bad, Traitor getting away several
lengths behind the others, and Alonzo
being left at the post. Sister Ida led
ON the last turn, and passed into the
stretch two lengths in front of Arun-
del, who passed under the wire half
length in front OF Traitor.
The second was three horse race,
! with Gov. Griggs a l to 3 favorite.
G-iggs started about two lengths be-
hind Jewsharp, and on the front stretch
Silver Brook was leading. Jewsharp
shot ahead on the lower turn, and
Gov. Griggs did not come up until
! the horses were in the stretch after
,;Silver Brook had dropped out. A nice
burst of speed sent him a half length
ahead in going under the wire.
The third race was easy for the ia
yorite, Crown, who led from the start,
sand came under the wire an easy win
ner Young Critic and Frank R. HART
were offered at 6 to /, but their drivers
made no apparent effort to win the
race, but A. B. Dade, to l, pushed
the favorite.
Helen H. was prime first choice
Sin the fourth race, and won as she
pleased Speedy tried hard for first
place, but the going was too fast. Hell
zen H. led all the way, but Speedy took
second place from Ed. Murphy by a
nice burst of speed on the back stretch.
There was a sensational finish in
the last race. 1t was good start,
and Little Ada shot over to the fence,
and was in first place by several
lengths at the lower turn. MOORE
sent DR.. Werden ahead Of Minko Maid,
the favorite, and on the upper turn
was length behind Speedmont, who
was length behind Little Ida. DR..
Werden was showing great speed, and
looked like a certain winner on the
stretch. He was running along the
railing, and had gone head in front
J of Speedmont, who was neck and neck
with Little Ida, but Moore allowed
the latter to win, Speedmont taking
second place by a head.

The Little Fred passed up with emptiea
yesterday afternoon at five o'clock.
The Queen City pulls out for Cincinnati
this morning at O'Clock. Capt Crockard
received word by telegram not to engage
any more passages as those already en-
gagged by Wheeling people would fill them
up.
In consequence of the existing condi-
tons the PlttSburg operators are left only
a small margin in the southern market.
Coal has sold as low as AZ cents at Gin
clnnati this season, and it costs 33l cents
a bushel to bring it to Pittsburg, in addi-
tion 10 the cost of sending it TO Cincln-
natl.
1t is estimated that the shipments to
southern ports during the present month
have aggregated between SGC0.0GO and g.
000.00J bushels. Most of this product has
been left at Cincinnati. The Pittsburg
river operators say that they have not
made dollar this season. The cause Of
their failure. to make profits is said TO be
due to the increasing competition OF the
West Virginia coal fields. 1t is claimed
that the price of West Virginia coal is so
low that PlttSburg operators cannot sell
ii al q price to make any profit.
Maj. W. Fl. Bixby. United States eng.1-
eer in charge of the Ohio river, has rec
commended that the next dam of the ser
les, which is expected to make the Ohio
river navigable all the year round be To-
Gated at Marietta The citizens of Mariet-
Ia made a particularly strong plea for
this. and Mai. Bixby is in sympathy with
the movement of locating the dams in
the future below the mouths OF the princi-
pal tributaries of the Ohio, at which
points are some of the largest towns and
cities in the valley Marietta is at the
mouth of the ! uskingum river, and a dam
below that city would serve the double
purpose of furnishing fine harbor for the
city and harbor in the mouth OF the
Muskingum.
The employees at the Davis Island dam
are putting up the weirs, and as soon as
the river falls to a stage of ). eject al that
place the main pass will be put up The
dam may have to be raised tomorrow as
is anticipated, but ii all depends on the
amount of rain which is predicted to visit
this section tonight. The boats that
nearly all returned to Pittsburg. and those
that left last Saturday and Sunday will
be due at Cincinnati tomorrow There is
plenty of coal in the lower markets, and
there is very little loaded here.
