There was large attendance at the River
side Park this afternoon to witness the decision
OF the bet OF five hundred dollars that the brown
gelding, John Stewart, would not trot twenty
one miles within an hour. There was a cold
east wind blowing, but the track was good.
The horse trotted in harness, John Murphy
driving him, and although he failed to accom-
plish the feat, he made the best twenty mile
time on record, beating Captain McGowan's
time by nineteen and three-quarters seconds,
and trotting his twenty and half miles in
fifty-nine minutes thirty-one and quarter
seconds The first five miles was done in
149 3-4; the ten in 2839; the fifteen in 1921 81
and the twenty in 5s.5 "a. The horse broke
four times, but was generally brought down,
aud when he finished the veterinaries who ex-
amineds him said he was as well as when he
started, t.,.gs..geg n.e a. "a AS
