The great IS, 900 match race between the
famous Pilot Medium gelding, Jack, and the
Electioneer stallion, Palo Alto, at Detroit,
Saturday, was won by Jack, only four heats
being necessary to decide the race. 1t was
q great day for Michigan as Jack was bred
by Walter Clark of Battle Creek and is
known as Michigan's greatest trotter. He
is now owned by Mr.. Geo. Middleton, OF
Chicago, a liberal and honorable patron of
the turf, who would permit no horse of his
to enter race that was not to be made up
on its merits. The owners and drivers are
all men whose names are the synonym of
good faith on the race course, and the out
come of Saturdays contest only emphasizes
the business of their reputation. Jack won
magnificent race and established himself
as one OF the greatest trotters on the turf to-
day. He has beautiful action, never loses
courage, and goes every mile as though he
could repeat at once with undated speed.
He is a dappled iron gray, slick as satin,
has better head than great many voters,
and will never lose race by default. That
he went well below his mark, Saturday, will
be noted in the fact that i'm the second heat
he drove the stallion home in 2:1319. Palo
Alto took the second heat, and Jack the first,
third and fourth.
