LORD SHREWSBURY FORFEITED.
Lord Lonsdale's Opponent Didn't Appear
for the Great Driving Contest.

Lord Lonsdale's Opponent Didn't Appear
for the Great Driving Contest.
LONDON, March 11.-When Lord Shrewsbury,
annoyed at the receipt of telegram from
Lord Lonsdale upbraidng him for failing to ap-
pear for the novel driving match about which
so much has been said, withdrew entirely from
the contest, Lord Lonsdale decided to drive
. over the course alone. He did so TO-DAY and
covered the 20 miles in Sc minutes 50 40 seconds.
The stakes which had been forfeited by Lord
Shrewsbury's withdrawal from the match. had
been previously handed over to charitable in
stitutIons by Lord Lonsdale.
The conditions OF the match it will be remem-
bered were that the lords should drive one
horse each for five miles; two horses each for
the next five miles; four horses each for the
third five miles, and finally rids and drive two
horses each in harness. postillion fashion for
the last FIVE miles Of the ~ miles course. Lord
Lonsdale covered the first half OF the course in
rs minutes. He lost 20 seconds owing to the
fact that the road was blocked with snow. AT
the finish, which was accomplished in splendid
STYLE Lord Lonsdale received an ovation from
his friends and from the crowds of people who
had gathered to see him accomplish his novel
feat.
The match which has had SC unfortunate an
ending had its origin in a decision as to the
relative merits of American trotters of which
Lord Lonsdale had pair. and English gallop-
ing horses. Both noblemen later on bought
new teams Of galoping horses, and each spent
a sum of about $4,000 for the pleasure of win
ming stakes which were fl0O. The Earl of
Lonsdale used An American buggy in bis now
memorable race against time.
