THE RACES.
AT LOUISVILLE.

LOUISVILLE, May 24.-The great handi-
cap race, called ''The suburban of the
west" one and one-fourth mile was the
third race on the program today. The
field consisted of eleven starters; Terra
Gotta was the favorite at two to one, with
Egmont and Tillie Doe selling at three to
one, others selling well up. The race was
for blood as will be seen by the time Egg
mont won, Terra Gotta second, Nick
Finer third Time, 20719, only one-half
second within the best time on record.
The Kentucky handicap has created more
interest than even the derby, and as
an old horseman said today, the field
of horses was one of the finest
ever started. Egmont, the winner, was
owned by Hawkins, who only few days
ago paid $4,000 for him. The stakes he
won today amount to about $4,000. Gov
ington was his rider.
The following is the summary of the
other races:
First race, one mile neutrality-suspicious.

and one-half miles south OF this place

very unsavory reputation, he having
killed his man at Horsehead Ranch. Clark

crime he was under bonds OF 81 500.
Since going to Beer City he has been dissi-
pated and quarrelsome, and at an early
hour last night he made the rounds of the
town swinging his gun over has head and
evidently bent on creating disturbance.
He met his fate in front OF his own house,
and as four bills from 50 Colts and two

DARING EXCuRSlONISTS

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Col, May 24-Some
weeks ago two residents of this place con-
ceived the idea of making a novel and ex-
citing excursion this summer, which, for
boldness, has seldom been equalled. They
propose to start from this point and go by
water to the Gulf of California.
The route is down Roaring Fork to the
Grand river, through Utah into Arizona
and then into Mexico by the Colorado
river. Some of the grandest canon scenery
IN the world is to be seen along the route,
notably in Cataract canon in Utah and
Marble and Grand canons in Arizona.
Owing to many pids the trip will be q
continual round of danger and excitement.
A boat has been built especially for the
trip In shape it resembles a torpedo boat,
the forward part being covered with light
decking to protect provisions and ammu-
milton. Air tight compartments are ar
ranged in several places to prevent sinking
in case of accident. The excursion ex-
poets to take several weeks for the trip and
will fish and hunt when opportunity of
fers. If nothing occurs the start will be
made this evening.
