The Delmar Jockey Club.

The Delmar Jockey Club existed In a
nebulous state for long time before IL
took definite shape. The Adler-Cella-Tilles
combination was anxious TO own a track.
and opened negotiations for the purchase
OF the Fair Grounds. The deal progressed
to a stage where a price was agreed upon
and everything seemed in a fair way to-
ward settlement. when hitch came ap
on the number OF shares to be sold. They
wanted only a controlling interest, but
the Fair Grounds directors insisted on an
agreement b. which they would bina
themselves 10 buy at the agreed price al
the stock that was offered them within
thirty days OF the date of the contract.
On this rock the dcal split Nothing fur
ther was done for over a year. beyond a
steady search for n site. \ dozen ioca,
tions were examined by Mr.. TILES and all
rejected. until the present site on Delmar
avenue was found; As originally, project
ed. the track would have covered an area
of something like i2o acres. taking in the
ground now occupied by the track and
also the tract on which Delmar Garden Is
located. The street railways were expect
ed TO make concessions which would have
permitted The grandest race trark in the
West with straightaways and track a
mile and furlong in circumference. but

cut across where the turn into the stretch
was TO be located. and the Suburban be-
gan condemnation proceedings for right
of way through the center o. the property.
where the road has since been built These
improvements ruined the plans OF the
promoters. and the option on the property
was allowed 10 expire. Nothing further
was heard Of the project for a month,
vixen Mr. TILES finally purchased the six
ty-four acres IL covers for sic0.fp in cash.
1t was 4 small piece OF ground on which
to build a race track. and was Of very un-

through il. crossing the track at two
points. and there was a lot of timber on
it Work on construction was begun in
March. 1891. Before the grading was COM
pleted. the ST. Louis Fair Ass0ciation
formed a combination with the Chicago
tracks to shut the DelInar track out.
Nashville. Little Rock and Newport were
included in the attempted embargo. and
the promoters found themselves up
against very hard fight. which only cul-
minated when they bought the Fair
Grounds outright and thus deprived the
Chicago tracks. or the western Jockey
Club. as the new organization was called;
of one Of its strongest allies. This forced
the recognition by the Jockey Club of the
tracks which had defied its authority. re-
