The great Clingstone is defeated for the
| first time in his life, and that too by his old
| enemv Edwin Thorne, who has hung to his
sulky wheel like grim death throughout the
whole circuit from Chicago to Utica. Tur-
ner, the driver of Thorne, has been compelled
to eat the bitter bread of humil-
iation many times,-at Chicago, at Buffalo,
and at Cleveland. Every time these two great
horses came down the homestrerch the roar
ing applause Of the grand stand sounded the
victory of the great Clingstone, and as NJ. T..
Grattan, last week remarked. there was "wOe In
the house OF Turner" The defeat of Thorne
seemed a matter of certainty every time that
| noble horse cameup to contest with the rep
| resentatIve from Cleveland. But Thorne aud
Turner have had their revenge, for last Friday,
at Utica, for the fourth time they met and for
the first time Thorne defeated him. Though
| the time was not remarkable the struggle was
a game one throughout the three heats. The
lamentation Of M T. Grattan over the defeat
of Thorne at Buffalo was published last week
in these columns. The result at Utica will
| cheer his sad hesrt as he reads the following
account of the vic;u. Of his idol:
The great event OF the day was the first de
feat of the famous Clingstone by Edwin
Thorne, in three straight heats, and it has
created great excitement. Robert Bonner
came on to see this race. Clingstone sold al
500 to $l4 at the outset. He was apparently y
in good form, and no great amount of pools
were rlsked against him. Thorne had the
pole, $3.50 second, Clingstone third, Kate
Sprague and Pickard next They trailed
around prettily On the back stretch, Cling
stone changing places with $3.50 and finish
ing under the whip only half length be-
hind Thorne, who made the heat in RISK,
Pickard third. Had the wire been fifty feet
away, Clingstone would have won the heat
Clingstone sold at 500 to S24 for the second
heat. The scoring was very tedious. Thorne
led around without skip or break, and al
the half was only neck ahead of Cliagstone
who broke on the end OF the third quarter
Kate Sprague third, and Pickard fourth
Time, 2:20H. Thorne sold at $40 to 500 fol-
the field. He was first to the quarter pole BY
three lengths, but broke, and Clingstone kept
the lead TO the head of the home-stretch
Thorne out-trotted him on the last quarter
and finished in 2;21. Halfway to the wire
Clingstone broke, and this caused his first de-
feat; Pickard was third, and Kate Spragut
fourth. Johnnie Turner was applauded en-
Enthusiastically when he returned to the stand
and Robert Bonner went down to congratulate
him upon his magnificent victory. The
Clingstone men can not understand it, an6
] they are completely dazed tonight.
