host, who was an old resident sat on
the stoop after dinner, admiring the

fine meal of scraps, finally seized q
particularly large and tempting bone
and galloped with it down the valley
and disappeared over the summit OF 9

WON BY GEB.

s. s. Warmers Trotter, Geb, Wins First
Money ut the Columbus Races.
We clip the following from the Ohio
State Journal:
1t was just :454 p. M, standard time
when Superintendent Bob Johnson hitched
his horse at the judges stand and gave
them the signal that all was In readiness
for the afternoons sport. There were six
starters In the first race, viz: Geb, Renna
B., Jacksonian, Ordinance, Prince Reno
and Mormon. Mormon was selling favor
lie at the pool stands 10 5. The first
time the horses scored Bob Johnson's sad
die horse took fright and broke away, but
no damage resulted. On the third attempt
the horses got good start. Geb at the
pole led the field. At the half the field
was badly scattered with Geb five lengths
ahead of Prince Reno second and Mormon
third. This position was not changed,
although Reno and Mormon closed In on
the leader at the finish. Geb won the
heat with ease. He was IL to 2 shot at
the pools Time 22OI4. A little shower
settled the dust aud cooled the air after
this heat
In the second heat of this race the driv-
er OF Fannie L. was fined by starter Leh-
man for persisting in leading the pole
horse to the wire. The horses got a start
after the fifth trial and set hot pace from
the start. Geb made bad break at the
first turn, allowing Jacksonian TO take
the lead with Fannie L. second. AT the
. half Jacksonian led by five lengths and
: kept gaining. Jacksonian won the heal
with ease over the field which got punched
/ in the stretch, Ordinance leading under
the wire for second place.
The third heat was pretty one. Jack
sonian and Geb went neck and neck to thu
half when Geb took the lead by hal
r dozen lengths and won with ease. Fo
second place it looked like dead hea
between Prince Reno and Ordinance bu
the judges decided in favor Of the former
1t was blanket race down the entir
stretch.
Geb ended the first race by winning th
fourth heat with ease. To the half Nor
b. mon trailed behind Geb. When Jackso
nan tried to move up on the outside at tn
half he broke badly. Geb led well scat
tered field into the stretch by SIX lengths
: and won the heat and the race in walk
Mormon broke at the wire, allowing Ord
nance 70 capture second place. Summary
