Chicago Running Meeting-Other kac'

The last meeting of the Northwestern cir
cuit-that at Minneapolls-wss commenced
Yesterday in rain, an elemental accompani'
ment to every one of the FIVE meetings compos-
ing the circuit, either at the start or finish.
The day was ushered in with rain and through
out it was dark and threatening, with showers
at intervals both forenoon and afternoon. AS a
natural consequence the attendance was very
small, three hundred being liberal estimate,
with not more than dozen ladies

to the sport, the latter including the Misses
Oswald, Mrs. James Philips, Mrs. Mackey and
sister, Minneapolis; Mrs. Palmer, La Crosse,
and Mrs. George Allen. st. Paul.
The programme for the day embraced two
events-trotting in the 800 and 2:32 classes.
AS to the latter class, there was little doubt as
TO the outcome so far as first place was con-
cerped, the steady, honest and fast work OF
Prince Arthur, the gallant son of Volunteer,

reference to the 800 class there was not the
same certainty, from the fact that it intro
duced two new performers in the circuit, one
Minnesotas other Prince Arthur. This Prince
Arthur is entered in the no record purse at
Buffalo, N Y, and the 2:45 class at Chicago,
and reports were current that he was trotting

THE RACES.
The first race called was the 800 class. The
Judges for the day were DR.. J. C. Evans, starter,
Star Tuckerman and VIM. Nettleton, and D. w.
and BENZ. Woodmansee. timers. The starters
in the race were as follows: MOllie B., br.

Prince Arthur, b. e., entered by Long q
smith, North Branch; Pedro, gr. e., entered
by F. C. Pillsbury, Minneapolis; Nettie g.,
br. m, entered by J. Mckinney. st. Paul.
The horses had positions for the first heat
rs named, and were called up at
$50, the dark clouds threatening down-pour
of rain at the time.
First Heat-After five efforts the horses got

lead. Prince Arthur, by fine burst of speed,
however, took the lead at the turn
but the effort lost him his
footing, and at the first quarter Pedro had
gone to the front, while Nettie G had taken
second place. in which position the heat was
trotted out, Prince Arthur acting badly and
finishing bad third with Mollie distanced,
Pedro jogging under the wire. Time 2:30A !.
In the pool selling that followed Pedro was
made the fayorite at $40 to S5 for the field, at
which lively business was done. Between
the heats there was a lively shower of rain,
making the track slippery, uncertain and sew
eral seconds slow.
Second Heat.-A fine send off was secured in
the second effort. Nettie G forged ahead on
the first turn, but throwing a shoe surren-
dered the lead at the first quarter to Pedro who
trotted home, without being urged, in 2:4O1a,
Prince Arthur second.
At the end of this heat vigorous
complaints were made that Mr.. E..
A. Parker, the driver of Prince
Arthur, was not sending him to win, and
when the horse were called up for the third
heat he was removed from the sulky and
"Knapsack" Mccarthy put behind the horse,
the change being greeted with clapping OF
hands and other demonstrations of approval.
Third Heat.-After three trials the horses
got good send off, with Pedro in front.
Prince Arthur followed him closely to the first
quarter, when he began to fall, and though
skill as reinsman, he was un-
able to get him close enoug h to
make it at all interesting for the gallant gray,
who trotted in an easy winner. Prince Arthur
second with Nettie G. on his wheel. Time,
