irrirants applied to them. There were five
entries but only two contested seriously as
but two could be Invested of the Unborn cussed-
ness of their hibridity. Jimmy Boyle entered
his dark chestnut Bucephalus; d. Shannahan.
Pegasus; Mat Kavanaugh entered the midgets
John L Sullivan and Jake Kilrain. but John
and Jake acted so disreputably that the Judges
ruled them out. The ffth, a large white mule,
Al Borak, entered by d. Arnheim, evidently
regarded his function to be the keeping Of the
course clear, and he outlined worm fence so
yards wide.
The judges were Alderman Burns ex-Coun.
Gilman Michael Dwyer and Councilman Thomas
Mnllin. 1t was q three-quarter dash, best three

Time, minutes. This was the best of the
series. Bucephalus coming in nose and half
ahead in front of Pegasus. The latter won
the next two heats, but Pegasus got the fourth
by a scratch and the fifth with considerable to
spare. Thus Shanahan scooped the first prize,
slV leaving % worth OF consolation to Boyle.
WHEN A MULE WON'T HE WON'T.
John L Sullivan exhibited his usual bibulous
propensities, and on three heats broke for a
speak-easy at one side of the course. so demor-
alizing his rider that he reIned up each time
On the fourth John L went up through the
woods after Kilrain. and on the fifth, despair
ing of making speak-easy, plum ged into
deep pool of water, werting the Jockeys feet
and legs to such an extent that he dismounted
in disgust. Kilrain took uniformly to the
woods during four heats and in the fifth threw
his rider.
Each mule was thoroughly warmed mp to his
gallop. Captain George Free volunteered to
warm SullIvan's blood, but desisted after the
third turn around the paddock. 1t wasn't
alighted on his head or on his left shoulder.
Th. re was large attendance of ladies, and
all who wanted to dance d not la ok for part
enjoyed it hilafiously, while others went
through the figures with grave faces as though
they were dancing for the good of the party.
Squire Handel and a lady of equal avoirdu-
were not allowed to
DANCE THE HIGHLAND FLING,
but the management explained that it was
solely fear that the midgets might get hurt, and
not fear of pecunIary damages, should the
platform give way, that caused refusal
Alderman Cassidy was put out and Justly
too, for he had an important hearing set for 8
o'clock, and the 6;5S train went whizzing
through without stopping, and left him in the
lurch.
Mr.. Gilbert Rafferty, chafed because Mr. ].
NJ Guffy didn't show up. They were matched
to run a foot race for 81, 200 side.
There % were all the diversions that are gen.
well patronized. Alderman McInerny broke
all previous records as heavy striker on q
machine. Alderman Rodgers contented him:
manipulators in the shell-game way were put
out, because the management would not allow
them to
HooDoo GREENIEs
on the grounds. They again met on the rail-
way, and succeeded in picking up a few stray
ives; but the crowd wasn't very gullible and
allowed the cappers to win most of the money.
The crowd continued to be augmented by
each outgoing train until after o'clock, and
although the more sedate took the early trains
home their departure did not seem to diminish
the attendance, and the affair was a success
financially and enjoyabiy. There was no ora
tory, the management concluding that it wasn't
necessary, and politicians were convinced that
a still hunt and a shake of the hand were
worth more than impassioned appeal and the
ladies agreed with them.
One of the managers announced that the
pie-eating contest Eust be of, as the bare sug-
gestion that Jimmie Dean was on the ground
drove all contestants away.
Proceedings after nightfan were maintained
at an equal pace with those of the day. The
crowd couldn't play baseball. but it could
dance. Messrs. L. P. Ennis and Harry Beltz-
hoover stated that as the friends of the club
had stood by it SO handsomely yesterday an
other picnic would be given by and by and
guests would be given a free blowout the
grove to he free on the occasion. and all ar
rangements made as near perfect as possible.
