ROCHESTER,, Mimi, Aug. at o'clock
this afternoon when the horses were called
the grand stand was literally damned With
spectators while the fence on either side
was lined with human beings on foot and
in carriages for nearly or quite a sixteenth
of a mile, the attendance at a moderate es-
innate numbering 10000. Barring little
too fresh wind, the day was perfect and
the sport by far the best since the fair com
menced, each race being hotly contested.
The first race called was
the 2:32 class, purse $500,
in which the starters were as follows:
Oh. s. Portion, by John Bradford; b. g.

Hubby Mathews u Robertson; b. N. Lucy
n, by Jerome McKenny; G. G. Sam. H.,
by Geo. p. Smith, s. G. Clumsy Fred, by
Rathbone, the horses going in the order
named. In the pools Clumsy Fred sold
the favorite against the field at even
figures. In the race, as agreed, distance
was barred, but weights carried. Previous
to the start there was some ques-
ton about the eligibility of
Clumsy Fred, both he and driver
having been suspended for non-payment
of entry at Red Wing in June last, but
being called up the driver produced his
certificate of reinstatement. The starting
Judge was M. L. Grattan, and timers G..
Torkleson, of Fargo and DR.. Stewart of
Winona
First Heat-The horses were sent off on
the third effort, an excellent ;start. Bay
Brine had the pole at the turn, the rest in
bunch. Making the turn Clumsy Fred
pulled out followed by Sam Fl, Lucy and
Portion, with Frank Hull already out of
the race. This position was held until the
three eighths had been reached, when
Clumsy Fred forged ahead of Bay Brine,
while Sam H. drew upon even terms with
the latter, Lucy N. only two lengths back.
These relative positions were held until
entering the home stretch, when Sam II.
left his feet, Bay Brine opening lead on
him of three lengths and Lucy N. taking
second place. Down the home stretch the
four leaders trotted level and fast. but
without a change of position, the first be-
ing Clumsy Fred, Bay Brine. Lucy n,
Portion seven lengths, back and Frank
the stretch. Time 2:33l4.
Second Heat-The horses were sent off
on the second effort, Sam 81. up and before
he settled he was ten lengths in the rear.
Clumsy Fred pulled into the lead at the
Others well stretched out behind. Then
some position was held to the head of the
hame stretch by the leaders. while Lucy
NJ |, %i,o Nc
and Sam H. and Frank Hull were trotting
as a double team six lengths back,
Portion jogging along easily
a dozen lengths further to the rear and
coming down the home Lucy \. was sent
for the lead, but just after passing Bay
Brine broke and was content to take third
place. Sam Il. who had pulled away from
Frank HnlI finishing fourth. Tine, 2:313I

the fifth effort. with Lucy n. crowded out
of her place and trailing. At the turn

effort, and Bay Brine left his feet almost
upon leaving the score, Clumsy Fred and
Lucy N. going to the front, with Sam H
close up in the fourth place. Going to the
fast quarter Bay Brine had pulled up on
even terms with the two leaders. Going
down the track Lucy N. dropped back and
Clumsy Fred and Bay Bruno had fine
brush, resulting in both leaving their feet
at the one-half, and giving Lucy n. and
Sam 81. an opportunity to close up. SO that
when they entered the home with Clumsy
Fred and Bay Brine on equal terms, Lucy
N. was only a length away and Sam Il. q
length behind her. Coming down the home
stretch both Lucy n. and Sam
