During the meeting which closed yesterday
both Chicago and visiting horsemen we're loud
in their praises Of the Thomas B. Brown sutky,
manufactured by the Novelty Carriage Works
of this city. Rarus and other lights OF the turf
made their fastest records when hitched to q
Browns sulky.
The fact that Giles Brothers Il Co, corner
State and Washington streets. are the largest
importers and wholesalers Of fine watches Of the
best Geneva and American makes west Of New
York, thus being enabled to sell 20 per cent be-
low all competition, and also making specially OF
sporting watches. horse-t.mess. etc, accounts
for the very tnany fne timers seen on the grand
stand last week bearing that tirn's name.
Yesterday morning Phillips, the driver of
Sleeping Tom, and James Gallagher. OF this
city, were driving to the race-track behind a
very small and apparently inoffensiye pony.
The pair became engaged In warm discussion
as to the respective merits Of Rarus and Sleep
views Phillips slackened the lines, aud the pony
immediately turned very sharp corner, sptiiing
out both Of the occupants OF the buggy. Gal
1agher's left side was badly used up, the fifth
rib being thrown out of plumb. Phillips sus-
tafncd no severe injuries, but the buggy was
wrecked. After TWO hours chase the pony
was captured, and the boys reached the track in
time to SEQ the races.
THE rRoTTING CARNIVAL.
With the present week begins the series OF
trottIng meetings ext snding from Cleveland to
Hartford, and known as the Central Circuit
Technically, Chicago il not member of this
circuit, but for all practical purposes tits. The
horses that have contested in the various events
here during the past week will nearly all make
the trip to the Eastern seashore, and although
at each point along the route there will be addi-
tions to the various classes, consisting Of local
horses that fear to venture far away from home,
the real struggles in the different classes at
Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, and Hart~
ford will be between the flyers that proved their
superiority over the others at Chicago. Buffalo,
although claiming aud announcing that she is
out Of the circuit, has her old week, and relies
on the large purses Offered to carry her through
successfully. Whether or not the tempting
prizes viii cause the average time Of the meet
ing to be lowered or not remains to be seen.
The Cleveland meeting begins next Tuesday,
and the programme is most attractive one. On
the opening day the events will ba those for
horses OF the 2:30 and 2:20 classes, the purses
being S1,500 and $1,000, respectively. Weones-
day, the 2:26, 2:22, and pacing races will take
place, the three forming an attraction that
should bring thousands Of people to the track.
Rarus and Hopeful come together Thursday in
The free-for-all, and, naturally enough, their
nomination has frightened away all the other
prospective starters. The 2;A race will also be
trotteu this day, and, from the list Of entries,
should prove one OF the most attractive OF the
week. The meeting closes Friday With the ais
aud 2:2S races.

the entries at Buffalo do not close until next

aorsemen Is that the admission OF PAGERS
