Campbell on the half, and drawing wi hin
three lengths of Merrill on the back stretch
Entering the home stretch the whip was
given Neptune in good earnest, but he could
not close the space, Merrill passing under
the wire winner, in 1:48, Gov. Neptune a
length behind, and Campbell more than q

GENTLEMEN's RIDING RACE.
The race for silver cup, value $50,and sill
yer mounted whip, value 1925, gentlemen to
ride, had four starters: D. B. Staples, Oh: m. :,
Thornton Moore; s. G.. Cook, oh. g., Ken
lucky Prince, by Princeton; L. E. Myers, b..
m. Belle, by Merrill; J. X. Rogers, ch.t NJ,
Missouri Maid, by Copper Bottom. Mr.. N.
McAfee's Ada 8. was withdrawn on account
of sickness. Thornton Moore had the pole,
followed by Prince, Belle and Missouri
Maid. .5 ~ .. "-a
The horses got good send-oh, Belle TAX
ing the jump, followed by Missouri Maid,
Moore aud Prince. On the turn Missouri
Maid took the lead, and on the half Thorn
ton Moore pulled up to second place. Going
down the back stretch, Moore went to the
front, and the run home was made in that
order, the Maid and Prince having it hot for
second place, but tho Maid held her lead,
getting the second prize. The time was an
ncunced as 1:591%.
In this connection it should be stated that
Messrs. Cook, Myers and Rogers protest
against the entrance of Mr.. Staples on the
ground that his horse, Thornton Moore, is,
under the rules, q recs horse, and not q gen.
tleman's riding horse. having been kept and
trained for racing purposes this season. Her
superior condition was manifest, and was
shown most conclusively in the ease with
which she went to the front on the last half
of the mile. But as to the protest, the
GLOBE cannot now, in justice to the judges,
express an opinion. Inc point raised is in
their hands, and We have no doubt of their
desire to decide it in perfect fairness.
The GLOBE may differ with that decision
when made, but it does not believe it will
have cause to doubt their desire to do exact
and even justice. H. Il
PLEASANT. INCIDENT. Ig .G
A pleasant incident occurred between one
of the heats of the $50 race. Mr.. L. D.
Woodmansee, the veteran driver and trainer,
who drove Mr.. Barden's colt Aladdin the
day previous, winning the race, was called
into the judges stand, where he was con-
fronted by Col. VIM. s. King, who in few ap-
propriate remarks, presented him W it'll very
handsome bouquet, the gift of the ladies of
Mr.. Barden's household. The compliment
was very happily conceived and pleasantly
bestowed. 1t will not be Mr.. Woodmansee's
fault if Lottie B., Mr.. Barden's entry in the
4-year old colt race to-day, is not the winner.
