"A. w. McNIILLAN'S 'sWALLACE'
Wins the $3.50 Race at Minneapolis.

Mr.. Mcmillan is great 'horscman. He
loves the horse, and is first-class trainer.
He has several very fine animals IN his
stables in this city. "Wallace." who Won
the 2:3O race at Minneapolis last week, re-
ccived his training from Nc, and his re-
cord of 2 :294 places his value among horse
men up into the thousands. Here is the
record of the race as given in one of the
daily papers:
The first heat of the $50 class was call
ed Tuesday at 6 p. M. Lady Florence
and Dick Garnet were drawn. Zig drew
the pole, Flora Belle second, Wallace third
and Alice B. fourth. At the quarter pole
Wallace had a lead of an open length,
Zig second, Flora Belle third. Alice B.
well back. Wallace's driver urged him
too fast and he left his feet, falling away
to last place. AT the half Flora Belle
was first and going level, Zig second. At
the three quarters the horses pulled pretty
we'll up in Il bunch and the race home was
a closely contested one. Flora Belle polk
ed her nose under the wire first, Alice B.
second; Zig. third and Wallace fourth
Time $50.
SECOND HEAT.
At $50 the horses were called out again.
IN front to the quarter pole, being crowd
ed hard by Alice B. and Wallace. Be
tween the quarter and half Wallace shot
by the rest as if they were so many stat
ues, Flora Bellies efforts to keep him back
being entirely futile, Alice B. taking third
place and Zig laboring hard to keep from
being distanced. The horses went around
in this order, Wallace winning by length.
Time, 2:3O1.
= THIRD HEAT.
In the third heat Wallace held the add
vantage he got by securing the pole and
was never headed, the procession having
to come around at a rapid gait to pass the
distance flag in time. The order at the
finish was Wallace first, Flora Belle sec
ond, Zig third, Alice B. fourth. Time $50.
FOURTH HEAT
On account of rainy weather, the 4th
and 9Th heats were not finished until
Thursday. After warming up they got
the word to a poor start for the fourth
heat and Wallace at once cut out the
work, opening up a gap of five lengths at
the quarter pole. Alice B. broke when
the word was given and was never in the
race, the same being true of Flora Belle.
On the backstretch Zig came very fast
and rapidly ovcrhauled Wallace, who
broke badly just as the half was reached.
When the two swung into the stretch they
were level, but Wallace couldn't keep his
feet and Zig won easily; time. 2:30. The
others as per summary.
FIFTH HEAT.
This was great heat. Wallace was on
his good behavior and succeeded in win
ming his first race The word was given
to wretched start. Alice B. beng lengths
behind. Zig and Wallace at once went
to work and a great race ensued, the for
mer having the lead until theyhad fairly
Strengthened out on the backstretch.

shake" Zig breaking; at the same time
Flora Belle and Alice B. came up and the
party trotted in q bunch to the head of the
stretch. Alice B. now came up with a
rush and passed Zig and Flora Belle, but
could not catch Wallace, who won the
