Miss Eckles has large following from
Mortified, who are emphatic in their ex-
pressions of certain victory. Her friends
claim for her the honor of being the most
graceful and easy rider i'll the country.
The 2:32 trotting class for a $500
purse is also a matter of un-
usual Importance. In this is entered
three good horses, but j. c. Oswald's Flora
Belle seems to be the fayorite.
At the second scoring a fine start was
made. One brawny. sinewy redskin
dashed his pony from the start and exhib-
tied some wonderful speed, considering
the size of the animal. The
ponies were small and nearly white
but were in excellent condition
and looked well. The young Indian who
took the lead managed to retain it to the
end of the mile, although in the last half
mile ne was closely pushed by Indian boy
No. 2. (The uames cannot be very
readily spelled and as the GLOBE
does not wish to break any
any of its readers jaw bones, it foregoes
the publication of the same.) The first
quarter was made in just 80 seconds, the
half mile in l minute and the three-quar-
ter mile post in 35 seconds more, making
the wire in just 2:O41l, amid the lusty
shouts of the enthusiastic children and the
applause of the older ones.

called. 1t was half-mile dash and the

Schober. Journal: J. Horton, Pioneer

taking first purse of S12. Golfer took sec
ond of IS. while third of s. was awarded
to Schober, who was just nose ahead of
