FARGO. Sept 22-While the temperature
was, though pleasant, decidedly cool to-
day, it was more than warm-in fact red
among the fair visitors, with specu-
latiOn in their eyes as to the result of the
announced events in the racing pro-
gramme. The big event of the day was
the 2:26 class for which, as understood last
night by turf spectators, the entries were
Capt. Herod, V. s., Jerome Mckinney; Sell
kirk, v s., Matt Lib; Pedro, b. G., F. c..
Pillsbury, and Flora Belle, Oh. M. J. G.
Oswald. Upon this understanding the en-
tries, with Pedro barred, big business
was done in pools last night, Flora
Belle selling as favorite over the others in
the field. This morning the spectators
and owners of the horses above named
were confronted with the claim of H. T.
Mathews, of Lake City, Mimi, that his
horse, Bay Brine, winner of all the races
in his class at the Minnesota state fair, at
Rochester, was properly entered for the
race, and would be started. To this the
owners and drivers of the other horses
protested, and finally, when called up to
90. refused to start if Bay Brine was al
lowed in. The judges, the same gentle
men named in Tuesdays issue of the GLOBE.
being answered by Secretary Tork-
elson that the entry of Bay
Brine was all right, suspended the four
horses named and their drivers. The decis-
ion created a great deal of feeling, and
some of the best horsemen present fear
the association will suffer in consequence
Any way a formal protest was entered,
and an appeal will be made to the board
of appeal of the National association. F.
c. Pillsbury, owner of Pedro, was the
only owner of the horses affected by the
decision present on the grounds leading
III the protest. AS a result of the decis-
ion the horses and dryers named are
barred from all association tracks until
passed upon By the national board of
appeals, which does not meet until Jan
uary, thus excluding the horses named from
filling engagements for the balance of the
season. OF course there is bad blood, both
the hOrsemen interested and the associa-
ton claiming to be in the right, but which
has the right cannot now be decided. The
other trotting race for the day was in the
$40 class, in which the starters were
Chippewa Chief, V. g., Hollingshead and
Shattuck; Sam H., or. g., Geo. Smith; Mol
lie g., blk. a., VIM. Taylor, and Minneap-
oils. b. M, j. w. Whitcomb. Mollie 3 was.
thought to have much the best turn of
speed. She was barred in the pool selling,
Sam II. selling the favorite over the
other two. The first heat
was taken easily by Mollie B., but in
second it became evident the driver of
Mollie B. was working to give Minneapolis
second place, and though she finished
first the fraud was so apparent she was set
back and Sam FL. given the heat. Again
IN the fourth heat, after a dozen attempts
to send the horses off, the driver of Mollie
B. was fined so for obstructing Sam III
The last heat was trotted after o'clock,
the judges securing fair play by station
ing patrol men at tbs quarter posts. 1t
was expected Mollie B. would be run, but
the apparent job to beat Sam 81
for second place was frustrated by
the action of the judges, in which they
were most heartily sustained by all except
the few gamblers who had put up the
game.

The other race for the day, sand
WICKED between. the trotting race, was a
running race, three-quarters of mile and
repeat, with one of the best fields ever seen
in the Northwest as follows: Centenniel, b.
H., Robt. Deacon Wild Bill, oh. g., J.
S. Forbes Fly Dance, oh. m, l.. n. Legg
Hamadan. CHI, g., Geo. Smith; and Grass
hopper, n. HI. Lowe. The speculation on
the race was for second position, all con-
ceeding first to Fly Dance, which she won
with ease. For second place Centenni al
led: and Grasshopper sold even. In the
first heat Grasshopper finished second,
The Maid third, Hamadan was left at the
post. The finish was very exciting for
second place, the Maid and Grasshopper
being head and head until within 40 feet
of the wire, when the Maid showed in first
and won by half length, thus ,securin g
second place in the race.
Though cold the attendance was good,
and such was the interest that nearly all
stayed until the conclusion of the races at
z:30 p. m. Another day completes the pro-
gramme.
