,esterday afternoon, and once more the old
Garden City track presented 3 repetition Of
he days when It was in its glory. Nov,
t presents most dilapidated appearance
The auaphitheatre has teen almost completely
arecked By the late storms and Is fast going
70 decay. The Judges stand is minus bell
and board and piece Of plank raped the
bo1ees to their places and gave them the start.
The track is grass grown and in poor
order and the fences look as If q battery
Of columbiads had been practising ut them.
The novelty Of the race, however, and the
character Of the horses entered, drew large
crowd Of turfmen, and the scene WIS uuusu-
ally animated, and betting lively. Several
Who are In the city with horses for the Fair
next week.
E, 4. Jessel entered "John y and " Jim,"
q well known team, formerly owned by Derby
and latter1y by Jason Gurle5, both splendid
animals and full OF fire. Henry Graves enter
ed his little bay mares, the :" Little Jewell"
and her mate-a made up team, steady as
clocks and thoroughly acquainted with their
work. Bob Champun entered . pair Of colts
which promise veil, and did soms handsome
work during the afternoon. Barney Nenis
was expected to enter bis team, but, for some
reason, withdrew just prior to the race.
Graves and Champ1in drove their own teams,
Simon driving for Jessel. No weights were
required and they consequently drove as they !
sax, O. Dimmock and ". F. Myrick we're
constituted Judges. The race was mile heats, |
best two il three, to wagons.
First Htat-After several false starts, the |
horses came up to the stand, Champfn out |
side, Simon in centre and Graves inside, in a
handsome manueE, and the word "go" Was
given. Immediately upon It's announcement,
Simon who was half length in advance,
broke up and shot ahead in keen run, 1eav-
ing the others behind several lengths. On
the second quarter, Champ1in broke up and
ran rapidly, oyerhaulIng Simon. The disease
seemed TO be catching, for before making the
nalf-miie, Graves was running and the first
heat promised to be scrub ga1lop. On the
third quarter, however, Champliu got well
down to his work in g beautiful trot. The
other horses, however, were excitab1e and kept
the run. Champlin preserved his gait and all
three came into the home stretch, Simon
ahead, his team running wildly and almost
uncomfortable, Graves following IN bad run
ard Champ11n hard after him in beautiful
trot. Champlin Was, Of course, declared the
| winner. Time, 3:07.
| Second Heat-Simons, outside; Graves, cen
tre; Champlin inside. The horses came up
| to the stand beautifully, neck and neck. To
| all appearances they we're well settled down
and promised better. Graves in spite Of his
break seemed the fayorlte, although odds were
| given In favor Of Jc3se1. TIE start was q
beautiful one, and Graves, who had complained
| in the first hest Of lack Of room, being al
lowed wider berth, On the first quarter shot
ahead splendid1y. Both Simon and Champlin
troke, the former badly. Graves kept bis
pace beautifully, and bets were made that he
would distance the Others. Their furious
running, however, prevented it. On the third
| quarter, Champlin got his team down to theil
work finely, but broke on the home stretch
, Simons could do nothing with his horses
which we're running at furious rate. Grave:
came In five or six lengths ahead, trotting ele
gantly, and gaining for him round Of ap
p1anse. simons went past the stand fun
ously, his horses running away with him ant
!, barely giving Graves time to get out Of tn
rosd. Champlin also passed in bad break
Graves declared the winner; time, 2:59
Third Hedt-A long intermission was given
= to quiet doTn the horses. Dimmock, one q
t the Judges and one Of the best drivers in tn
e West, took Jessers team. Stakes were i
