Western sports who placed their money Law
ishiy on Eureka. 1t was no secret
that Cgingstone had shown three fast ex-
hibiion heats at Hartford, Ct., July 4. but
as he had never started in race the western
sports felt confident of Eureka's ability, with
assistance from others, to down him. As it
resulted the race was only play for Cling
stone, who evidently had considerable speed
left in reserve.

peared in full in the GLOBE. In the 2:l5 class
