The Walla Walla Jockey Club Faces a Quiet Track

The fall races over the Walla Walla track, under the management of the Walla Walla Jockey Club, commenced on Wednesday, the 25th instant, for a purse of $150. The track was in excellent condition, but the attendance was not large, and little money changed hands. On the second day, a field of five horses was entered, but for reasons best known to themselves, the managers of three horses refused to start, narrowing the contest to two. Much dissatisfaction was felt at the course pursued by those who refused to start, while they, on their part, complained against the proceedings of the Jockey Club in permitting old racehorses to enter for all the purses, thereby practically excluding untried and moderately good horses. The Club evidently means to make it square work, and parties who keep their horses in their stables will find themselves in the position occupied by Gov. Turney in the last election for Delegate to Congress, who declared that he hadn't been in the race.
