St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-08-02

1t was ladies' day, and the grand stand
was a bower of beauty, while the dulcet
voices of the fair ones who had came out
to witness the excelenteven!s furnished
r delicious change from the mOn0tOnOuS
tenor and base voices that yelled
'"ThpYr OFF," on the previous days Of
The meeting. The attendance was 10,-
BOO. and the programme was full of in
terest, as but one Of the races was so
easy TOR the winner that it were bereft
of interest. This was the first number
on the card. Maid Marian was never
crowded, and she finished in an easy
canter five lengths ahead of Bolivar
Buckner, who was in turn eight lengths
ahead of Forest.
As has been limited in these columns
as likely. Bolivar Buckner was scratched
from the third race, and this leaving
only Minnie Gee and Lord Willow
brook, the race was declared off. Tom
Kelley again demonstrated his proves
by defeating good field, and lnno-
cence also gave fine performance. She
won goOdly sum for her hackers, and
she was backed quite heavily.
AS rule the favorites proved faith
full to the confidence reposed in them,
but Alice ID must have given the book
les big winning. She carried heavy
money, but she was left at the post,
after a protracted effort to get the big
field off.
The betting ring was scene OF life
and activity throughout the afternoon
seldom eXcelled at Hamline. The
events found plenty Of the talent ready
to venture Tips" were generally of
the hot style, and when the word
went the rounds that certain candi-
date was sure to win, a mighty rush ell
sued. Still the "bookies" did not suf-
fer much from the onslaught. They
managed TO keep the betting 50 tempered
that one was nearly as liable to play one
horse as another. The result was the
money was usually we'll spread out over
the field i'll each event, and in some OF
the races the "bookleS" made genuine
"killng."
The Maids Hollow Victory.
AS was expected Maid Marion was
the fav0rite in the first race, although
both Bolivar Buckner and Forest were
we'll thought of. Buckner comes from
tie East with several brilliant per-
formances 10 his credit, and Forests
beautiful run to victory over Minnie G
and Innocence last Friday certainly ell
titled him to favor, and lie found many
Marian started at even money, but at
the post the odds were changed to to
8 against her, and Bolivar Buckuer was
backed down from Z 10 3 to even money.
AS they went to the post Forest went
up from . to , 10 even money during
the progress Of the betting. and all this
shows that Buckntr was heartily
backed.
Maid Marian began by making pace
from the drop OF the flag, and she
showed the way to the wire about as
she pleased. Bolivar Buckner started
second, but at the quarter be was dis
placed by Forest, who began going
strong. At the three-QuarterS Bolivar
extended himself again, and easily
passed up to the place, which he held to
the finish. Marian was five lengthSin
the lead. and Buckner was eight lengths
ahead of Forest.

There were nine candidates for the
second race. and it was pretty field of
horses. Calhoun, the Minneapolis colt,
found big following among the Mill
city contingent, but it made no change
in the odds, however. The boOkmak-
ers were evidently confident he couldn't
carry off the purse. Tom Kelley's show
ing the other day had the effect to draw
load of money at to l, and Bridal
Veil was pretty largely played by the
ladies.
Tom Kelley took the flag first, with
Judge CardNe ell second, and Calhoun in
the bunch. Thorpe brought the Judge
up with a rush, and at the quarter he
had saddle the best of the battle, with
Tom Kelley second and Calhoun third.
Down around the turn Judge Cardwell
found the pace too hot. and fell back to
third place. Tom Kelley dashed first
into the home stretch, and then followed
a sensational finish. The field of nine
horses came laundering for the goal,
every one under whip and spur. But
ii was soon apparent that it was Tom
Kelley's race, while Calhoun came sec
ond and Judge Cardwell third.
SUMMARY
Five furlohgs, for two-year-olds, purse $780,
divided.
