1t is generally conceded tonight that Spo-
| kane is better than Proctor Knott. A few
| still insist that Knott was not well ridden,
and make other excuses. The showing
made by the Western horse has
given tho Montana climate higher
reputation for breeding racers and
| by association has added 20 the
favor in which California Is held. Al
excuses TO the contrary, the fact remains
that Spokane has given Knott three
pounds aud beaten in two races hand
running.
