But the Couple are Overtnken by the Irato
Father, who Carries the Girl Home.
About dark last evening the residents of
Seventh street, adjoining the county road,
observed great cloud of dust on that thor
oughfare in the vicinity of the Schuetzen
park. A few minutes later buggy contain
ing a fair country girl and her male escort
dashed down the street, closely followed by
another containing an irate father. The front
buggy was overtaken at the corner of Eighth
and p streets, and quite scene occurred.
The father, who is well-to-do Montgomery
county farmer, forcibly took his daughter
from the young man, and compelled her to
return to tho country with him, threatening
during the while to horsewhip her suitor il
he was ever caught in Montgomery county
again. A REPUBLICAN reporter investigated
tho matter and learned that the farmers
name was Robert Herbert, and that the
! young man was clerk in one of the princi-
pal business houses of this city. 1t was a
! genuine runaway match, and had not the
wrathy fathers horse been the faster of the
two, a wedding would doubtless have been re-

TRoTTINe MATINEE.
A Good Race Under the Auspices OF the
Washington Driving Club.

A Good Race Under the Auspices OF the
Washington Driving Club.
There were over five hundred people pres
ent at the Ivy City track yesterday afternoon
at the regular Thursday matinee of the
Washington Driving club, and the Interest
taken in the trotting was sufficient to satisfy
the members of the club that these matinees
are growing I'm interest.
There was but one race, which was for
horses that had not beaten three minutes,
and the following holses appeared on the
track: Il. Burgdorfr's Louie b, Joe Wiseman' S
| PanZy, Cant. Hess's Wildwood, II. Norton's
Molle Woodcock, and James Coyle's Billy G..
In the first heat the horses got
| off well together, but It soon be-
came evident that iathe real contest
was between Louie b, PanZy, and Wild
wood, and they crowded each other until
Panzy let herself out and passed under the
| wire ahead, winning the heat in 2:59, with
Wildwood second, Louie third, Mollie
| Woodcock fourth, and Billy G fifth
Panzy was now the fayorito, although the
| friends of Louie b insisted that he would be
| heard from, and in the second heat the brown
| gelding showed the mettle that was in him,
| for he came in good first. Billy G made a
| break and won the second place. much to the
surprise of many, and Panzy, who had been
called by her friends to win, was third, with
Wildwood fourth and Molle Woodcock last.
Time, 2:59.
In the third heat Louie b still held the
| lead and Wildwood again came up and won
the second place, while Panzy held her place
| as third, with Mollie WOodcocS fourth and
Billy G fifth. The time in this heat was re-
duced to 2:54
The fourth heat was intensely exciting.
Panzy seemed determined to show that she
| had some speed in her, and Louie Il did his
| level best to keep the lead. The two crowded
each other during the entire heat and finally
came in together, making dead heat in 300.
| Wildwood was not far behind, and Mollie
Woodcock and Billy @ held their former rela-
| tive positions
When the horses came up for the next
heat it was hard to say which was the fa-
| vorite, PanZy or Louie b, as the friends OF
each were numerous, and after q good start
both horses let themselves out, but Louie B
seemed to have the best of it, whom Wild
wood came up, and the result was dead heat
between the sorrel and the brown gelding in
| the other horses as before. 1t was now de-
cided, as it was quito dark, to postpone the
further heats until next Thursday.
The following is the
SUMMARY.
Race for horses that have not beaten three
minutes:
E. Burgdorff enters Dr. 6. Louie B........s {

heats to beat his 2:55 but he failed to do it,
his time being 3:04t, 2:57!, and 3:05.
