THE RACES AT BUTTE, MONTANA.
Again the Favorites Win and Many Thousands
Change Handsome Horses That
Have Not Done Well.


Caldwell was called into play in order to
have the last race run before it was too
late to get back 10 New York for dinner.
At the sound of the bugle the horses made
their appearance, and were promptly at the
post, where after one or two break ways,
they got all off i'll a bunch, Glory and Riz-
pah set the pace to the half, Arab keeping
well up, the rest punched three lengths
sway. AS they entered the stretch Arab
came up and passing Rizpah, soon got on
even terms with Glory, and neck and
neck struggle ensued, Glory losing heart,
fell back and Strideaway coming along in.
The last few jumps headed him, but Arab
was not to be caught, so Strideaway had to
be content with second place, Glory third
and well up. Time-1 :2S15.
The second race, three quarters of a
mile, for 2 year olds, was an excellent race
and places Chatham the winner well up in
the list of favorites for the two year old
honors this year. Carrying 123 pounds, be
ran game and true race in the good time
of 1.1494.
After delay of some twenty minutes at
the post, as is usual in such cases, they
were sent off with St. Charles in the lead,
Picknicker second, Chatham third, and
maintained these positions to the quarter
The pace was hot, and st. Charles evidently
intended to make runaway race of it,
seeing which Chatham passed Picknicker,
and closing the two lengths between him
self and the leader, they struck the head of
the stretch neck and neck, with Equity
coming fast half length behind them. AS
they neared the stand whips were plying
freely, and Chatham, though he had on the
top weight, outlasted the son of st. Blaise
and Carita, and won very creditable race.
st. Charles, quitting badly, was nearly
beaten by Equity for the place.
Chatham, the winner, is by ST. Blaise,
out of Clara, and is owned by the Messrs.
Morris. He has started nine times, and
though this is his third win he has run
well up on several occasions. He surely
can pack the weight and keep up his 'clip,n
as the time, 1:14924, is very good.
The third race was looked forward to
with much interest, as in it My Fellow and
Major Domo were to meet at mile again.
Domo run My Fellow out in 40 last week
and many looked to see the tables turned.
My Fellow is an all round rogue. When
he is a Is or 20 to l he will come out and
run like deer. When backed down he IS
not worth a tive dollar bible" Hearst's
fraud, the bay colt Ballarat, set off at the
start as if he were going to run away from
them all, but, as usual, when he strtck the
quarter, he had enough and was rapidly
passsd by Domo and Eurus, who
made things warm for an eighth; here My
Fellow came with rush and all you could
hear was, my Fellow, My Fellow.n At
the half ''My Fellow" the rest punched ;
at the three quarter still the cry, :'My Eel
low" but the rear phalanx was surging
and shifting about, and soon Belwood was
seen to emerge, followed by Eurus. Over
hauling My Fellow, they set sail for the
stretch at rate that made things hum.
The crowd were shouting, ''Come on Eu-
rus!" t'Belwoodr' "Belwoodr' Then a
lull came, and someone yelled, 'Domo ~
Sure enough, he was coming, and very fast
too. He passed My Fellow as if he were
tied up to the fence, and soon reached the
leaders; Belwood, in difficulties, fell back.
and Eurus and Domo came flying down the
last hundred yards as if Satan and all his
imps were in hot pursuit. Now. hear the
crowd yell! The Eurus men are in the ma
iority, but game little Domo will not be
shaken. True to his colors, he never
f1inches at the cut of the whip.
but his older opponent had him. and
run as he would he could not get his nose
in front of his rival, nor could old Eurus
increase the slight advantage he had, and
so they passed under the wire, Eurus a
nosein front of Domo, My Fellow three
lengths away. The time, 1:4I, was very
fair, as it was run on the old track. Domc
is hard horse to beat at mile and will
bear watching in the future, no matter
what company he is in.
The fourth race saw three year old FLIES.
viz: Cleaning, Bibolet, Druidess, Her
Highness and English Lady, run Druidess
set out to make the running with Cleaning
at her heels, and Bibolet half a length
away. These positions were maintained II
the three-quarters, when Cleaning as
sumed the lead, which she held to the mile
and quarter, where she fell back beaten,
Druidess and Her Highpess running q
pretty race around the last turn. where
Bibolet joined thcm and coming on unde,
a few sharp cuts Of the whip, she won a
very slow race, Her Highness securing the
place, with English Lady third. The time
|2:4l15.
Tho fifth race saw them get away ali in g
bunch. AT the quarter Stockton led auc
was running very fast Philosophy was
second, and the half was passed with these
two making lively race of it. Torso came
through at the three-quarter and assumed
the lead, the other two tagging after hin
close up. At the mile Torso had hall
length the best of it, and Ori1amme had
taken Philosophy's place. Torso gradually
fell back and Stockton set out again as
pace-maker, with Orifiamme second Phil
osophy third. Stockton gradually drew
away and won easily, Orifamme beating
Philosophy neck for the place. The time
was within three-quarters of second o.
the record. which shows that Stockton i,
about at his best.
Sixth race-This was hard one to guess
Painkiller and Harzburg led to the half
where Tom Hood caught them, and as they
entered the stretch it was any ones race a.
they were all punched. Half way to th,
wire Autocrat showed in front, and though
close prested by Tom Hood and Samaria
ne won by length from Samaria, who wa
the same from Hood, third
Theseventh race brought out four horses
