RIcHBALL vs.. JOHNSTON.
At $50 some dozens of eyes deserted the
blaze face Of the phenomenal PAGER Richbail at
the head of the stretch, and in moment every
neck in that vast assemblage was craning in that
direction, and as the little wonder came pacing
down in front OF the grand stand everybody stood
up and paid their respects IN yocife-ous Ian
guage. On behalf of his noble animal Mr.
Campbell, from his sulky seat, ac-
cepted the generous congratulations OF
the people by tipping his cap. A moment
later John Splan drove Commodore kittson
Johnston, the fastest PAGER in the world, down
where the spectators couh get d view of him.
He received sueh an ovation as he merited, and
many, not content with fsasting their Dyes on the
phenomenal horse rnshod for the track In an
attempt to put their hands upon him, and the
police had to stop the overflow. The horses
were given airing for their own benefit and
the pleasure OF the crowd, and then driven back
| to their stables. The race was for purse OF
! S5,000 best two heats in three. At 20 the
horses were brought on the track for the first
mile, Johnston drawing the inside position. On
the third trial tho horses were sent away
Johnston had length the advantage at tho
| quarter pole and increased the lead to two
lengths at tho half The audience was in
buzz of excitement, as those
holding watches made known that the pace was
exceedingly rapid. The horses were both going
with the regularity of machinery, and the race
was such one as few in the audience had ever
| seen. They flew around into the stretch, and
Richball's blaze face began to gain ON the brown.
AT the distance there was but length between,
but Johnston responded to the whip and won by
two lengths, the crowd sending up 8 shout of
emulation, and some ono set them going again
| by shouting 1900" The time made was 2:13,
and this is equal to 2:10, the best time Johnston
ever made, on the more elastic tracks OF the
east.
SECOND HEAT.
At o'clock the PAGERS were brought out for
| the second heat They were s9nt away at the
second trial, and Johnston led to the quarter,
where Rich call came up on even forms. Midway
between the quarter and half Richball left his
feet and when Campbell got him going again
Johnston had lead OF ten lengths. The horses
went around in these positions to the head of the
stretch, where Johnston broke badly, Richbal
coming up and passing him, and winning the
heat by two lengths in 2 :20A.
THIRD HEAT.
Fifty minutes later the horses came out to de-
eide the contest. At the quarter pole they were
| going together like team in the finest possible
form. At the half Johnston had the advantage,
but Richball was skimmng along like railroad
| train, and moment later the two were neck and
| neck. First one nose would show In front and
then the other, and the excitement in the grand
stand was at fever heat when they came into the
stretch. On they came to withinsthree rods Of the
wire under the whips, when Richball left his feet
Johnston winning in 2:17A.
