OAKLAND PARK.
"Shaw's Knox" of Augusta. Wins the
Gardner Race
KING PHILIP" TROTS IN 338.-SOME:
PROMISING GREEN HORSES

Friends of the turf to the number of sew
eral hundred, visited Oakland Park in Gardi-
ner. Saturday afternoon, to witness the con-
test for purse of 500 between horses that
never beat 2.31, and race for a similar purse
between green horses. The afternoon was
pleasant and the track good. But three horses
started in each class. king Philip" and
'Shaw's Knox of Augusta, and Ranger"
of Gardiner, competed in the 2.:51 class; and
Bruce" donna" and Centurion, owned
by the Richardses of Gardiner, in the green
horse race. The interest concentrated in the
struggle between the two augusta stations
At the send off Ranger" behaved badly,
breaking and losing ground. liking Philip"
took the poll and held it to the finish, hard
pressed by his competitor. A lively brush
occurred on the home-stretch, but liking
Philip" passed under the wire first, winning
the heat in 2.:9. In the second mile the
word ego" was given before the ''king" was
up to his speed; and, to keep the pole, he
broke badly on the first quarter, making a
gap which 'Shaw's Knox" closed up with
difficulty. The horses passed under the wire
almost neck and neck, Nason's stallion in
advance. The judges gave the heat to
.Shaw' knox, on account of his rivals I'M
fortunate running. The third heat was easily
won by liking Philip" with Ranger" second
and Knox Boy" thid. The roam settled
down to work, and in the remainder of the
race did some fast and square trotting. The
start on the fourth mile was very pretty. and
the three horses kept well punched, until
"Philip' broke, which let Knox Boy" gain
the pole. This demoralized the stallion,
and although he soon sobered down. Ranger"
passed him on the last quarter, and went
under the wire next to ''Shaws Knox" In
the last mile Fred Tilton of Gardiner, as
sumed the ribbons, and mounted phillips
sulky. This heat was won by ''Shaw's Knox, y
with Nason's stallion second, and the roam
behind The following is summary of the
race:
Geo. +. Mason, Augusta, King Philip. III 3 2
John Shaw, Augusta, Shaw's Knox, 2131 |
A. j. Libby, Gardiner, Ranger, 3322
Time: 80, 2.4l, 2.43, 2,42, 2.45.
The race was enjoyed by the spectators,
and the brushes were quite exciting. The
two stations were evenly matched, Saturday,
and the contest at times was very sharp. The
Judges were Daniel Hanscom of Hallowell,
f. ID. Tasker of Gardiner, and N. Burns of
Gardiner.
The field of green horses was fine one,
and had there been any incentives to make a
record, some surprising trotting would have
been shown. The best time was 2.52. "Cen
turion" is powerful black gelding. an easy
trotter, and we prophecy that when the proper
occasion arrives he will speed up into fiier.
The black mare donna" is promising
animal. and pretty little trotter,

A minstrel show does not seem to amount
to much now -a-days, says the Lewiston Ga
zette, unless It has at least eight end men,
and some managers are introducing 'double
companies" notably in such plays as ''Uncle
Toms Cabin" where two Topsys and two
Marks are supposed to be a big attraction.
Those managers who con6ne themselves TO
the production of the Legitimate drama will
have to hump themselves if they hope to re-
tain profitable share of public patronage,
and we would suggest that an independent
fortune lies in wait Tor the manager who will
present the plays of the immortal Shake

The deadly toy pistol has scored another
victim. Friday noon Willie Brooks, a ten
years old lad, son of w. H. Brooks of Bridge
street., was off playing with a comrade who
had toy pistol. The boys loaded the weap-
on with the tin tip of a shoestring. Young
Brooks was sitting down, and had the pistol
cooked over his knee, when the hammer
slipped, and the piece was discharged. The
shoestring tip entered the leg, midway be-
tween the knee and the thigh, penetrating
several inches. Drs. Thompson and Laird
probed for the tip, but were unable to find
It. They made an incision in the boys leg
TO find the diminutive missile, but were I'M
successful. No serious results are appre-
hended; but the painful accident should ad-
monish the boys to be careful. 81.
