Saturday morning, Richball who was timed to
sulky in 2:10a, was hooked double with run
ner, but he did not fancy the rig, and the attempt
was given up to go with him against the 2:01 u
of Westmont. Johnston was advertised to beat
his own record of 2:10, but Mr.. Woodmansee tells
me that he had very little hopes of accomplish
ing the task. The horse lacked preparations for
a supreme effort. The best mile paced was 2:11A :.
Peter Johnston who has Westmount in his stable
and who gave the horse named after him his
present record, says that Johnston is without
doubt the fastest PAGER in the world. He is con-
fdent that Splan will drive him mile when
everything is just right in :0S or 300.

Clingstone was worked here on the Sth, and
those who saw him move felt confident that he
would be entered for the $4,000 purse at Cleve-
laud. Mr.. Case saw that he could not get on any

handed Mr.. Thomas Axworthy check for 81 900
and took the following receipt;

After Mr.. Case had put up his forfeit, news
came from Cleveland that Clingstone would not
enter because he was lame at Chicago. Mr..
Gordon Is prudent man in some respects.
Before leave Olingstone 1 wish to make
correction. President VIM. Edwards writes me
that twenty gentlemen Clipped in an equal
amount and purchased the Cleveland Driving
park. Mr.. Gordon was one of these, and he has
no more voice in the management than any other
stockholder. The $4,000 purse was given at the
suggestion of Mr.. Edwards and that gentlemen
regrets very much that it did not bring Cling
stone and Jay Eye See together on the track.
The energy of Mr.. Edwards has contributed
largely to the success of the club.
Phil Thompson looks five hundred per
cent better than he did last year, and I think
he will yet make sensation. Maud Messenger
is going well and she will probably start in the
$4,000 race at Hartford. st. Julien is still out
of shape. The Kittson stable will go from here
to Cleveland. Il. B.
