The Same Old Story.

A man from the backwoods of Washing
ton Territory arrived at the depot yester-
day en- route to Chicago. He had to wait
several hours for the overland, and in the
meantim gawked about the spacious place
in an aimless way. Three confidence men
Immediately recognized him as their
game" and went to work on him. One
of them represented himself as freight
agent, another as a banker and the third as
IN old friend of the strangers, who was
also going to Chicago. Before long they
succeeded in borrowing $40 from him, Civ
ing as security "gold' watch worth about
twenty-five cents, and then decamped. For
an hour afterward the duped stranger ac-
companied police officer Lowell about the
city in the hope of running against the
smooth operators, but they were not to be
found, and the Washington man started off
for CHICAGO 500 DOOrer

was good, the day pleasant, the road fast,
and the speed contests interesting.

called, drove Stamboul around the rack, the
last half-mile with running mate being
made in 1:07 without skip. 1t is the

ton of Lorena, who was several lengths 10
the rear. On the first turn Pedlar, who
was in the lead, broke badly and fell to
the rear. At the quarter Lorena broke
very badly and fell hopelessly to the rear,
and the race was left entirely with Fleet
and Wilkes, the former winning by three
lengths in 2:2S!, Lorena barely saving her
distance, while Pedlar was shut out The
quarter was made in :372, the half in
1:13I and the three. quarter post passed in

The second heat was surprise TO the
talent. Fleet led to the half with Wilkes
two lengths behind and Lorena closing up
gap of several lengths. On the upper
turn Peel broke and Lorena went to the
front, coming into the HON estretch three

way, winning in canter by several open
lengths, Regal Wilkes second. Time,

Before the start for the next heat Lorena
became a large favorite, selling for $780,
Fleet $40, Wilkes $35. Lorena in the third
heat led from the score to finish under a
pull, never making skip and winning by
dozen lengths from Wilkes in 2:3li. Be-
fore crossing the score Shanen, the driver,
pulled up to try to let Fleet get inside of

More PIekpockets Canght.

The pickpockets did thriving business
at the race-track yesterday-at least for
awhile. Special officer J. w. Sullivan, who
is employed by the Agricultural Society,
watched for the nimble fingered fraternity
and finally caught gang of six at work
stealing pool tickets from spectators during
the excitement of the races. He called
officers Ash, Simmons and some more to
his assistance, and the whole six were ar
rested and taken to Jail. Sullivan is conf
dent that he has positive evidence against
the men. The police say that the individ-
uals are part of crowd of Eastern crooks
who came out to this coast short time
ago TO work the fairs

The management did a wise thing this
year when they required that at the head
of each herd of cattle exhibited in parade
should be carried banner announcing the
class of stock, together with name and ad-
dress of owner. These requirements were
universally complied with, much to the
qualification of every spectator in the
stands, who was thereby enabled TO dis
