THE 800 TEOT.


On the first heat of this trot pools sold,
Frank p. SIS, to SIS on the field. The
crowd was at its height as the horses came
out, and they got away before twelve thou
sand people at $40. There were ten en-
tries and seven starters: Garnet H., Idol
Boy, 8. f. Gallaher, Frank P, Sallie
Walker, Lucy w. and Tom W. Gallaher
had the inside with Walker second, while
Lucy had the outside. At the word go"
Gallaher took big lead, but was passed
by Frank w. at the quarter, he being
three lengths ahead of Gallaher at the
half. The last named horse pulled up going
around the turn and led by length at
the three quarter. This lead was increased
around the upper turn, but on the stretch
Frank made a great squirt, and drew mp
until within half length of the leader as
the horses went under the wire, in 1854.
Garnet, Lucy and Tom were distanced.
Mutuals paid $500.
Frank P. sold big favorite for the sec
ond heat, Notwithstanding his defeat, buy
ers putting $40 and $50 on him to $40 and
Is on the field. Gsllaher behaved very
badly at the start, taking lead of the ia
vorite while on break. At the quarter
he led by three lengths, with Idol Boy o
very close third. Frank kept his lead at
the hall, while Idol had taken and lost
second. Frank kept recovering his lead,
and ran six lengths ahead at the quarter,
with Idol a very bad third. Gallsger
pulled up at the stretch but Frank won
easily in 2:35f, coming in slow to avoid
distanciDg Walker. Mutuals paid 81 60.
Frank was large favorite for the third
heat, selling at the rate of three to one on
the field. There was good deal of de-
lay in getting the horses of, and
when the start was made Frank ran away
ahead, breaking badly at the turn. He
settled down half dozen lengths in front
of Gailaher, holding this at the quarter.
At the turn Idol went second, but was
held back, and dropped last soon after the
half was past. At the three-q usrters
Frank still held his big lead, but Gallsher
was allowed to come up few lengths as
the animals went under the wire. Time,
$40.
Mutuals paid $3.50.
There were no pools worth mentioning
sold on the fourth heat of the trot. The
horses started at $50, Frank leading by
five lengths to the quarter, with the other
horses punched. Idol Boy went second
and held it TO the hall, with Walker third
Frank had an easy time Of it clear around
the ring, leading by eight or ten lengths at
the three-quarters. At the top Of the
stretch the rear horses were but length
apart, but the heat was entirely devoid of
interest. Time, 2:4l2.
Mutuals paid 1920.

THE CAVALCADE.
The Horses and Cattle March Around the
Ring Behind the Band.

The Horses and Cattle marcn ArOunu the
Ring Behind the Band.
Very soon after twelve o'clock the peo-
pie within the enclosure began to drift
down toward the grand stand, in order to
see the grand cavalcade from that point Of
vantage, as well as to be in time for seat
at the races, which were expected to be
called at an unusually early hour. Before
one o'clock there were more than thou
sand people in the stand, with twice that
many strung along the fence, from where
fairly good view could he obtained.
About one the Opera House band took up
a position in the course, a little north Of
the grand stand, and the horses and cattle,
which had been grouped in the centre Of
the ring, began to unwind into the track,
as the band moved off down the course
with a fine march When all the
animals were in line, they reached about
three fourths of the way around the
circle-not 30 large a display as has been
seen in former years, but fully as nice q
lot of animals. Among the fine horses
was one owned by Deputy Sheriff "Morg"
McCulloch, of this county, which was
greatly admired. He danced along the
track in great shape, and is certainly
great animal. There were q number Of
fine Psrcherons and Norman horses, big rs
young elephants, and many blooded ami
mails and matched pairs.
Among the cattle were some very fine
Jerseys, Short Horns and other fine breeds,
all sleek, well-kept fellows walking along
at dignified pace, rs il they realized their
value and beauty.
The cavalcade will be repeated to-day at
twelve-thirty O'Clock, and all 90 over to
the grounds should make point Of see
ing it.

the judges in this particular line Is the re-
ward of real merit, ard "a such ought 10
be given the widest publicity. Every body
in and out OF Wheeling is interested In
knowing where the very best ice cream il

In candies, Mr.. Dnrst had display
