under kiley's strong pull. Past the
club house, with its wealth of fashion,
Knott lost some of his lead. and as the
seven horses passed the three-quarter
pole Sorrento was one and half lengths
behind the leader and one-third that
distance better than Don Jose. Then,
as Fitzpatrick let out link, all moved
up and the pace became desperate.
When the half-mile mark fell behind
the racers there was just daylight be-

making for the stretch was actually

the homeStretch was touched he was

there the Futulity winner gave out, and
there Spokane made his run. So fast

pair. Again Sorrento advanced
gamely, but, though stronger than
those behind, could not disturb
Spokane, who came away under
Kiley's upraised hand, but withou
tasting whip or spur, and won very
easily by full length. Sorrento was
second, head before Retrieve third,
followed by Don Jose, Long Dance,
Once Again and Proctor Knott. The
latter. cut up and very tired. stopped at
the saddllng paddock and was taken to
his stable, while the crowds hurrahed

from the Northwest that Spokane went

boys gathered under his shed and told Of

A lusty darkey placed big pot on the
fire and filled it with small white leaves
taken from bag. 1t was the medicine

pared for Spokane's next meal. Shortly
a tall red-faced man with brown beard
and his hands thrust clumsily in his
trousers pockets sauntered along the
stable path. 1t was Sam Bryant on his
way to his own stalls. As he passed
the Montana stables he was attracted
by the laughter and loud talk, and turn

mouth stretched into broad grin as he
stirred and added the white leaves he

A most unfortunate blunder on the
part of the judges occurred which led to
serious results. mo. ~ was put up as
the winner instead of NO. 3D. making
it appear that Baggage had won the
race instead of Red Light. Britton,
who rode the winner. went up to the
judges stand to demonstrate but was
not listened to, the judges apparently
not yet discovering their blunder. The
crowd raised a howl and for an
hour the greatest confusion prevailed.
The number having been hoisted, the
natural result was that the bookmakers
paid out upon the strength of Baggage
being the first horse. and the Paris
mutual did the same. When the judges.
an hour later, finally discovered and ac-
knOwledged their error, the mischief
had been done, and nearly all ready
money betters had been paid. An in
dignation committee called upon Treas
urer j. r. Walsh, and were assured that
the injustice would be rectifed at d
meeting to be held tomorrow at the
club house.
SPOKANE WILL BE HERE.
