Pine Sport Witnessed 1t tho Second

The One Mile Contest q Magnificent
Exhibition-Carlisle Wins by a
Nose-ManninR Takes the
2:2O Trot Easily.

The sport was grand. especially The mile
dash, which was probably the prettiest
race ever O on the ground. The sun
shone bright and clear during the early
part OF the day, and although the wind
was somewhat strong and the dust
slightly d~isagrecable the day was a favor
able one for n racing. The pool box was
largely p~atronized and the crowd about
the betting stand was larger than that OF
the first day. IL was n difficult matter To
edge ones way To where the a~uctioneer
could see you, no matter how much gold
you possessed. Moneyed men struggled
with each other to obtain access to the
pool box.
ladies' and gentlemen alike. IL was an
other day for favorites, and with the ex-
ception OF one race they scooped in all
the money. Mutuals were light aud no
large amounts were paid during the day.
The first race was a surprise to many. IL
was cut short by the feat OF Leap Year,
who distanced the field. Leap Year made
n very poor showing in Deer Lodge with
the same horses In a race where 3:O5 was
not beaten, but demonstrated his superb
ority yesterday when he won he first
heat in 2:4sA. The second race which
proved 70 he the event of the day was cer-
tainly a grand race from start to finish,
and everybody was wrought up To the
highest pitch as the o horses entered
the stretch and fought a grand battle to
the wire, where Lew Garlic defeated the
favorite, Tom DAILY, by half n head. The
horsemen were heavy losers on the race
as loads OF money were placed on DAILY.
DAILY was the winner up 10 the last few
jumps. Garlic was lifted TO the front in
great style. The 2:3O trot proved TO be
somewhat u sided, and Manning, the
favorite, took first money in three
straight heats. In the second heat
Condee's sulky was tipped v
horse ran away, going thrice around the
track on a dead run before being secured.
Despite this this the horse came up for
the third heat, after about forty minutes
rest, n trotted IA lively heat, taking sec
oni place and winning second money.
Manning seemed to outclass the balance
OF the field, but a great many believe that
had Condee not met with an accident he
would have at least captured the second
heat. Some also claim that the neat
should have been declared oil, but the ac-
cident could not possibly be aid to Man.
ming n il would hardly have been a fair
proposition To him to have declared the
heat void. The last race of the day
proved an easy one for Nettie s. and she
won handily under a pull. However the
race was n good and showed that
Nettie :. is "A wonderful little runner. The
shorts backed Cyclone heavily and some
money was placed on Kitten who made n
good run. Cyclone went wrong at the
start and was not in the race nj any point.
The assertion that he was not out for the
money met with some dispute. The special
train from Butte brought over "A great
