The Cleveland, Ohio, Press, under
date of July 3OJh, gives fine de-
scTiption OF Hal Pointers race in that
city, and says that Hal did not ex-
ert himself at all that he won as lac
pleased and that Geers sat as uncon-
Cernedly i'll his suIky as If he were
but taking an airing. Among other
things the Press says this:-"One
young fellow, who had won large
sum of money on the first heat
wanted to telegraph the good news to
his friends in some distant city, but
was unable TO write, and finally had
to dictate his message to a cheap boy"
We will wager we can spot that
young felloW.n Ed Geer's feat of
driving Justina, Globe and Belle
Hamlin, three abreast in 2:14, was
the event Friday, at Cleveland.
Temple Bar his owner DIR.
Sale and his driver Geo. Spear were
all expelled from the circuit, at Cleve-
land last week, for an alleged agree
ment to hold Templar Bar to lose.
Not only the stock papers and the
horse men, but the newspapers and
all sorts OF people have been attracted
by the remarkable exploit of Hal
at Cleveland. The turf pa
pers call him the "Great Unbeaten,"
the Greatest horse that ever wore
harness." etc. They tell it that Poin-
ter was positively the only thing in
the race. Andy Mcdowell wasn't
used to coming out second with YOlo
Maid; she had been an invincible
lu0SA vi OuC hClAC SlOpO hIu Mo5 III
used to the dust herself. And when
her driver piled the whip, she Just
stretched her pretty limbs as far and
as fast as she could. All this while
Geers was holding as teady rein on
the world-renOWned Hal, and hold
ing tight enough to keep him from
going too fast. He did not appear to
Le racing, but had the air of a man
who was enjoying the breeze. The
only thing that troubled him was that
the Maid wouldn't keep up. He re-
peatedly nodded to Mcdowell to come
. little faster, that Hal was hard to
hold and even upbraided him once for
not giving the people a race, saying
some of them had come a long dis
lance and expected to see something
more than a jog. 1t was little
cruel in Ed, but Mcdowell had done
talking about the in
Maid, and it is "human ma
Jur" to guy occasionally.
