THE SPECIAL TRoT.
Great interest was felt in the special Min
neapolis race between Butterscotch, record
2:2115; Maggie G. Middleton, 2:21H, and
Bonnie McGregor, 2:22I, for 81, 900 con-
| tributed by the citizens of Minneapolis.
First Heat-The horses started in the
positions as indicated above. Butterscotch
| took the lead from the wire, with Middle
| ton on his wheel, and by the time they
reached the quarter McGregor was a full
| length behind; Soon after leaving the first
pole Middleton went into the air and Butter
scotch opened lead OF several lengths, and
McGregor, who was making steady but
slow race, nearly caught the middle horse.
| Middleton steaded again and soon pulled
away from the rear horse. ButterScotch
! broke and went into the tunnel on a run,
| but when he reappeared he didn't seem to
! have lost any of mis- lead. He made the
rest of the heat easily, the other horses
! struggling for second place, which Middleton
won by length or more. Time, 2:29.
| Second -Butterscotch's good show
ing on the first heat made him great
favorite in the field. They made an even
start, and continued even nearly to the first
turn, where McGregOr took his place in the
rear. The two leading horses were nearly
i even, ButterscOtch gaining nick by nick.
Middleton stayed by his wheel, however,
and AIcGregor was the same distance be-
| hind the second horse. So they continued
around the back stretch, the race being
very even one. When they came out Of
the sshOle, AIiddletons head appeared first,
whereat there was great shouting. Butter
scotch pressed her closely, but would'n
have won had not the leader broke at the
! distance, which let the favOrite win by
| length; McGregor last. Time, 2.24%.
Third dHeat-Butterscotch took the lead
! shortly after the start as usual, and Me-
! Gregor broke, at the same time placing him
| hopelessly in the rear. Middleton pressed
the leader closely to the quarter where their
heads almost Tapped. He broke, however,
and ran good share of the backstretch,
| McGregor almost catching him. When they
| entered the vale of tears Butterscotch was
! eight or ten lengths ahead and it seemed as
| if he were going to distance the field. He
made no special effort, however. and the
other horses did good work in the tunnel,
50 that the race horse was not devoid of in
| terest. At the distance Middleton broke
| again, running to the wire, but finished sec
| ond and was given second place.
Time, 2:29.
