circa 1890\'s Clubhouse and Grandstand at Race Track St. Louis MO.
From www:
\"The Saint Louis Jockey Club in 1883 was organized with racing on an old half mile track in Fair Grounds Park.
In 1885, a new mile track was opened, with a grandstand seating 15,000 and an elaborate new club building.
The club house was a three-story structure in high Victorian style, with a high-peaked slate roof, gables,
towers, cupola, and gentlemen’s amenities like a bowling alley and billiard room.
Elegantly appointed, with paneled walls, stained glass, ornamental urns, and oriental rugs,
the Jockey Club was considered one of the finest buildings of its type in the country.
Grandstand seating was available for other racing fans, who enjoyed the sight of elephants pulling sledges to smooth the track.
The track\'s finest hour occurred in 1886 when St. Louis hosted the National Derby.
In 1905, Joseph A. Folk campaigned for Governor on a platform for reform and
the duties of a duly elected official to protect the public from the local politician.
Governor Joseph A. Folk election delivered a deathblow to horse racing.
That same year 1905 the Jockey Club closed its track, and the clubhouse and the grandstand were demolished. -- Saint Louis Jockey Club - Jersey Coffee, Dayton Spice Mills, Dayton OH.Reverse: Poetry Rhyme Poem lines by Longfellow NOTE: This is NOT a postcard, but because many researchers & local history collectors
