DEfRou. July 25.-Judge Harris an
nounced from the stand TINS afternoon
that owing 10 the peculiar cofdiuons
OF yesterday races and the important
events OF today, he should INSIST upon
Daniel J.. Campaus presiding Al today's
meeting. and De called for Mr.. Campau
t. come T. the stand.
The crowd applsuded literally. and
q general shout Tor "Campau" went up.
The crowd arrived early today. The
track was in the same perfect condition
as for the first two DAYS of the meet
lng. 4 strong southeast wind Gwas
blowing. The weather was cool enough
10 make spring OVercoats pleasant and
even necessary az the track. There
were over 2eVO people on the ground al
/ =. m
The talk OF the afternoon among the
patrons and stable boys was Yesterdays
race between Gene Smith and Rosaline
Wilkes, after which the Judges ordered
Smith under care of two officers for the
night The stable BOYS were all agoe
over the suspicion that one Of their
number WAS guilty of the doping of the
gelding.
G. ID. Cook. one of the owners, said.
II am satisfied that something was
wrong with the horse. He showed
fever after the first neat, and on the
second did not do as we'll as ne should
Bat even then We did not suspect any
thing, and laid II 10 his having cast a
toe-wc ght. After that and IN the last
beat he could not respond TO Jimmy
Goldsmith's calls for speed. We are
satisned he was being worked 90 lose.
and II was 2 good thing that he was put
under watchtul eyes last night"
Jimmy Goldsmith. Gene Smiths
driver, said - knew as soon as
reached the lower turn IN the last heat.
that something was the trouble with
Smith, but had no idea what IL was.
lie could not respond To my call for
squirt, and that Is all there was about
IT. The judges have made a careful
inquiry and are satisfied that ! had
nothing to do with the poor showing of
the horse. ] feel very we'll over IL. and
| was not to blame for 1t. The horse
seems to be all right today, ard am
going to drive him to win."
The event at the meeting was the
merchants stake OF $4,000 ree-for-all.
There were fifteen entries and eleven
starters, and the most unpromising of
starters was Hendryx, the big gray
horse from DOwaglac. In three
magnificent heats he won the stakes.
About one hundred thousand dollars
changed hands on this race alone.
The other interesting event was the
finish OF a race for $1,000 between Gene
Smith and Rosaline Wilkes. smith
had been drugged yesterday and WIS
kept III charge OF two deputy shernls
all night. Although Wilkes had the
prestige of two heats won yesterday.
smith showed his mettlc and took two
straight heats today. Twenty thousand
people witnessed the races. Program
opened with the unfinished part of yes
teldays free-for-all race.

CHICAGO, February Slack McAuliffe is
now in steady training at Beloit, Wis, for his
meeting with Billy Myer. of Streator, Ill. which
will take place on the 18th of this month. 1t
will be one of the best battles ever fought in
this country, experts say, and when McAuliffe
goes into the ring he will be physically perfect.
He has trained from 15S pounds to l34 pounds
under the watchful eye of Bob Drew, the latter
having been with him since the draw with
While McAuliffe is busy at Beloit his oppo-
nent, Myer, is training at Streator and says he
can whip McAuliffe. Further than that, he
maintains, the fight will be for blood and wants
only a fair show. Sporting men think Nc.
Aulitfe the better man of the two and should
have no difficulty in whipping Myer, though
what betting there is now is even. Not long
ago, however, bets of 500 to $50 on McAuliffe
were offered with no takers.
McAuliffe's friends fear their man will not
get a fair show, for the reason that, should he
be besting Myer, they are afraid the latters
miner friends from Streator will jump into the
ring and make trouble. Myer is backed by ALI:

Myers trainer. He is himself a man of ex-
perience, but lost the middle-weight champion
ship of Australia to jackson, the black.
Myer strips at 133 pounds, and his condition
now is perfect. Particular attention has been
paid to the muscles of the abdomen and stom-
ach, the result being that he guards his body
very little, seeking only to protect his face. His
record is not a lengthy one. He has whipped
Paddy Welsh, a noted Chicago lightweight,
twice: Charley DAILY, of st. Louis, once; Harry
Gilmore, of Minneapolis, champion lightweight
of the Northwest. twice; an unknown of Buffa-
10 and Dan Needham, once. Myer hopes to
knock McAuliffe out by a lucky punch" this
being the means by which he has achieved his
past victories. Streator is said to be loyal to
Its pet.
