OF horse race. Arthur pushed ahead, of
course, at first. The rest of the horses
were punched just behind him, except But
terscotch, who trailed away in the rear.
Boston Davis made a strong effort to catch
the leader, and broke at the quarter pole
and fell through the crowd to the fourth
place, and finally was passed by Butterscotch
ON the back stretch, McGregor, Middleton
and Butterscotch following the leader in
the order named. AS they passed into the
cut, Arthur seemed a sure winner, while
the positions of the others were not
changed. Arthurs driver, however, was
lulled into false security and let his horse
jog. McGregorS driver seeing his opportu-
nifty piled the lash. The Midway driver
seeing his mistake put on the lash also, and
as it appeared to the spectators won by
nose, although the judge decided it dead
heat. Maggie Middleton, Butterscotch and
Davis followed in the order named. Time,
2:2115.
Fourth Heat-Arthur's friends were vim
dicated by the event of this heat. Before
rounding the turn, both McGregor and Mid
dleton had broke. The former came down
soon and held good place, while Middleton
took the rear. They passed the master in
the following order: Arthur, Butterscotch,
McGregor, Davis, Middleton. On the
back stretch, Middleton, who had found her
feet in good shape, overlook and passed
Davis AS they came out of the hole, every
neck was craned to see if Arthur kept the
lead, and as his head appeared first there
was loud shout from thu amphitheater.
Bonnie McGregor tried to catch him as be-
fore, but didn't get there by length. But
terscotch was a good third, and Maggie
Middleton not far behind. Time, 2:21%.
l.
larious over the fact that their horse had
two heats to his credit, while his opponent,
McGregOr, had but one. 1t was an even
start. McGregor fell behind the leader
around the turn so as to take advantage of
the pole. They passed the quarter in the
following order: Arthur, Middleton, Nc
Gregor, Butterscotch, Boston Davis. Nc
Gregor made play for second place and
had hot fight for it, with Middleton on
the back stretch. AS they passed into the
hole in the ground he seemed to be having
the best of it. On the home stretch Arthur
appeared ahead, but McGregor's driver put
on the lash, just in time. Arthur's driver
did the same, but sent his horse off his feet,
losing the heat by half length; Butter
scotch third, Middleton fourth, and Davis
last. Time, 2:2O1a.

MINNESOTA THREE-YEAR-oLDS.
The Chicago Horseman's stakes for three
year-oldS in Minnesota were next contested
for-an event interesting more for its pOssi-
bilities in the future than for any inherent
excitement.
First Heat-This made sport for the boys.
Lord Nelson took the lead right from the
start, and, had he tried, could have shut
out both the other horses. They were so
slow coming up that the leader had to almost
stop to wait for them. Time, 3:12.
Second Heat-This was just like the first.
Time. $40.
Third Heat-Ditto, except that Lord Mel
son trotted all the way and diStanced the
other two, although as the leader started
under protest, the flag was not dropped.
Time. 2:41.

RUNNING TO SULKIES.
The Midway novelty, a running race in
sulkies. awakened considerable enthusiasm.
Good time was made, considering that the
horses drew sulkies instead of carrying
light riders. Ollie Becker was the favor
ite and won.
First heat-The start wasn't very even,
Ollie Becker being in the lead, but she
would have won it anyway. Firebrand had
the poorest show at the start, but soon took
second place, which she held easily to the
finish. Time, 1861.
Second heat-This was about the same
as the previous heat, its only incident being
tussle on the home stretch for second
place between Firebrand and Blackbird,
the former gaining it by half a length.
Time, 1879.
