and aLookout," Of Des Noines.
tilt says ssCol. Gillaspy officiated as
master of Gel emonies,' and gives the
following account of the third heat
Horses got a good start. Drivers
jockied; both yelling like cannibals
to scare each others horse. The
thing wouldn't work. Finally Ber-
tram broke as usual. Crowd acted
cholicky and bets were freely offered
that neither nag would win the race.
Col. Gillaspy looked the very picture
of despair, and took four inch chew
of pig.tail tobacco. Bertram thrust
his tail over the dashboard and set
tied into a trot again. But Lookout
kept widening the gap between them,
when suddenly to eyerybody't aston

about twenty persons in the crowd
were observed to spring most unac-
countably into the air. They be-
longed to the Ottumwa delegation.
Their joy was brief, for Lookout re-
gained his equilibrium and gait with
out sacrificing advantage, and the
gap grew wider and wider. Col.
Giliaspy got taciturn, but ventured
the remark that the "Des Moines
boss was no trotter." A Des Moines
man retorted that ssthe Ottumwa
boss was." just then Lookout pass.
