The second day of the Minnesota
Driving club meeting was very sue
cessful one. The racing was good, the
weather all that could be desired and
the crowd satisfactory. The 2:30 class
trot was somewhat of walk-away for
Pedro L, but there were plenty of peo-
pie who had confidence in the ability OF
the bay mare Archibald to beat the
gelding, and they did not hesitate to
back their opinions. There was very
little pool selling, however, the bets
made being chiefly private. In the 2:35
pace a protest was entered against
the bay mare Oracle l. on the
ground that she was a ringer.
being in reality Maggie Ell
mont. The mare was allowed to
start. however, and failed to get better
than second money. 1t was announced
that to-day there will be a heat race,
for a special purse of $1,000, between
Bob Kneebs' Jessie James. with record
of 2:153I. and G. WestbrOok's Dido, with
a record of 2:24. The match grew out
of Mr.. Westbrook'S conviction that
Dido was good enough to beat Kneebs'
wonder. 1t is learned, on good author
ity, that Dido trotted mile last week
in 2:IS. The event should be interest
ing, as the track is in frst-clasS eondi-
ton and both horses at their best.
In the First Event
of the day, the 2:35 pace, there were six
starters: Harry NJ, Midway. st. Cloud,
Oracle l. BullmOnt and Tartar Chief.

The Princess Wins.
The mile race on the fat had but two
entries. They were the Butler COM

/ same owners Forest King. Miss Will
! Jams, of Kansas, rode the Princess. and
! Miss Mckinney, of California. piloted
4 the Monarch of the Woods. The start
was poor one, the mare ridden by
| Miss Williams being a eapriciouS ami
NAL, with a tendency TO jump the pad
! dock fence. Miss Mckinney got away
! two lengths in the lead and held her
| mount hard TO the quarter, when the
| Princess began to run like a crazy
horse, and passed the King at the half.
/ Miss Mckinney whipped hard from the
! back stretch to the stand. Coming home
1 it was neck and neck from the turn
| into the stretch, and they flashed under
| the wire in a close finish. with the
| Princess a winner by nose. Time,
1884.
| The one-mile chariot race was an ex-
citing event. Two spans of four horses
1 abreast were driven by Miss Mckinney
| and Sig. Balmaceda. They went away
in an even start, with the Chilian
slightly In the advantage. 1t was nearly
an even thing to the turn into the home
stretch, when Miss Mckinney whipped
like threshing machine and sent her
team flying towards the wire length
to the good. Sig. Balmaeeda piled the
whip desperately, but couldn't make
