the blind horse winning in 2:23I. AT Gin
cinnati he won in 2:17, 1913, 2:l7M, lower
ing his record. At Louisville he won again
in pity, 2:17114, 21614, lowering his
record again. At Columbus, whore he was
sold to Joe Udell, Of Michigan, for 1000
he won again, getting q record of 2:1415s.
From there he went to Chicago, where his
wonderful performance Of Friday, after
dropping two heats in 2:181, 2:l61a5 win
ming in the remarkable time Of 2:1615, PIG,
2:1214. Perfect sympathy exists between
him and his driver, and no one else can get
speed out of him.
THE BUFFALO MEETING.
The turf event the present week is the
trotting carnival at Buffalo, and genuine
carnival it will be. "Old Buff has made
herself historical by leading the van in the
matter of hanging up large purses and this
year is to be no exception, an aggregate of
800, 900 having been put up to be contested
for, divided as follows: Tuesday-Purs
5000, for 2:31 class; purse $3, 600, for 2:21
class. Wednesday $4,000, for 2:27'
class; purse $4,000, for 1928 class; purse 3d.
600, for 2:35 class. Thursday Purse 49,
600, for 2:29 class; purse $4,000, for 2:18
class. Friday-Purse 49, 900, for 2:25 class;
purse $4,000, open to all trotters and PAGERS,
PAGERS in harness, trotters in harness or
under saddle. it is understood that all the
classes have filled we'll except the last, the
novel one of combining the trotters and
PAGERS, the latter in harness and the
tr0tters in harness and under saddle. This
has been failure to the extent that the own
ers of Rarus and Hopeful, especially in the
eye of the management when the race was
made. have declined to enter their horses in
competition with the side wheelers, which
will probably leave the race, if given, to
horses of this style of going alone. Judged,
however, by their performances at Chicago
and Cleveland, the side wheelers alone will
make most interesting race, and prove
great drawing card. The experiment, not
only of this particular race, but of tho whole
meeting, will be watched with great interest
by horsemen throughout the country.
q. THE EDWIN FORREST CASE.
Denton's SPIRIT Of the 7'wf, Chicago, is
at last beginning to comprehend the .strue
inwardness" of the Edwin Forrest fraud at
Utica last year, and as was to have been ex-
pected of him, he makes haste to repair his
mistake. In HE issue of the I'd inst. he
says: "When we heard their evidence be-
low, and heard them take solemn oath
again here in Chicago in May that they
would answer truly all questions put to them,
and there and here swore themselves inno-
cent, we believed them SO. But in a few
weeks, when they confess that they did rob
the people of their money at Utica, as well
as other places, we confess, for ourselves in
their case, that we can carry our arguments
no further. While man thinks he has an
honest case, he is justified in laboling ardu-
ously to free prisoner. But when tire
criminal confesses his guilt, then an advo-
cate becomes vicious himself if he continues
to plead the cause of vice. That the board
of review have done we'll in ferreting out
this evidence we confess but that they have
reached just conclusions we do not believe.
For we think there are still parties to the
case that have not yet been punished ; and
those who were punished, are, to our mind,
as vile as when they committed crime against
the turf Good for Denton. The turf, to
be popular, has got to DO made honest. The
arbitrary action of the National Board of
Review in expelling the parties proven to be
guilty of the fraud was in the right direc-
ton, as is the vigorous language of the
zat'Jf as copied above.
