not discouraged. She paced living
| storm and was soon ahead Of the PreSi-
dent. But, when within a length of
the wire, Beamer applied the whip
! vigorously, and the President darted
forward with a supreme effort. The
| judges called it dead heat, and it was
| probably fair, although many in the re-

A little sensation was created at the
meeting because the pool sellers packed
up suddenly and closed shop. Quite
large amount of money had been placed
OH the heat in which Minnie Wilkes
and Prince Wilkes paced a dead heat.
The purchasers claimed 1t was no heat
and that they had right to a show for
their money. The pool sellers. Oh
the other hand, replied that the money
reverted to the box. The excitement
ran high and trouble was anticipated, 80
the establishment quit business and
went. and the manipulators did not
stand on the order of their going. One
of the attaches, Sullivan, who had Just
received a telegram calling him to
Louisville, and who had left the grounds
for the depot. was placed under arrest,
and the sequel will be known to-day.
At the pool room last night the pool
sellers still refused TO cash the tickets
on the heat, and there is trouble brew
ing.
