Editor and Valkyr Were the Winners
of the Minor Events---0ther
Sporting Matters.

The gathering of spectators yesterday
as the state fair grounds was favored
with favorable weather for the third
days racing of the Twin City Driving
club. The sport was above the aver
age, the days programme including
three eventS-a 2:39 trot, a free for-all
pace, and 1925 trot. There was cap
ital show of horses, notwithstanding a
number of Withdrawals; and keen con-
tests prevailed. Considerable enthusi-
asm was impaired to the days proceed
mgs, the reason being that the favorites
had much better time than on the day
previous. There were few carriages
on the ground, but nothing like the
number the preceding day, and the total
attendance
WAS ABOUT 1,500.

Col. McClasky, of st. Paul, was
starter, in the absence of Col. w. S.
King, of Minneapolis, and the Mime
apolitan's loud-lunged voice
WAS SADLY MISSED.
Racing began at 2 O'Clock and con-
tinued for four hours without bre ak or
any disagreeable feature. But little de-
lay was experienced between each heat,
the starting was quickly accomplished
and everything was done to keep UP
the interest.
There were few delays yesterday, the
heats being equally distributed, and the
spectators maintained good humor
A 2:30 trot was first down for competi-
ton on the programme. Six horses
went to the starting post Fanny
Whitestone, Byron Sherman, Lady Hell
en-, Rajah, Motor and Editor. Rosemont
and Lady Mack were the Withdrawals.
But three heats were required for the
settlement of the race. Editor, who
started favorite, with odds at 90 to 40,
carried off the blue ribbon in proud
cfy-ln Sfnr in, %1,n
horses presented pretty picture, Edi-
tor at once breaking the line in passing
the wire. The others came behind in
rafting form, but the only dangerous OPP
pOnent to Budd DOble's bay geldIng was
Byron Sherman. The Omaha horse
CHALLENGED SEVERAL. TIMES,
but Editor passed the Judges stand a
winner by a length. Editor made the
trotting in the second heat, being heav-
lily backed against the field. Lady
Helen was this time seen to advantage,
but failed to overhaul Editor, who won
by length in s:2519. This was the
Rajah was distanced in the
second heat, and, therefore, only five
horses competed in the third, and, as it
proved, final round. Editor again went
away, humming with comparative ease,
despite the desperate efforts of the
driver of Lady Helen TO break down the
gelding's lead. Editors record has
hitherto been 2:333.
The free-for-all pace was decidedly
the race of the day. Six heats were
run. and then it was pitch-up which
horse would win in the seventh. The
field was pretty much divided among
the hackers, ana large amount cf
Fc3;iey was consequently handled ever
