haha Driving club amidShips, and
prevented 5000 people from seeing
Robert ] go against time, for when
the shower was done the track was
as we'll fitted for swimming as for
trotting trials.
The same condition prevented w.
E. Becker and his bicycle from COM
peting with Fairwood, the Derby
winner.
Fortunately Hal Pointer succeeded
in getting in his exhibition mile and
the high-class racing programme
was pretty we'll run through with.
All but one race would have been
finished but for a rafting mix-up
in the 2:23 trot, when King fPrin-
cops, Abbadonne and Allie Gee each
insisted on taking a heat, and the
order was being mixed up every
time
The track was literally af1oat,
however, and after waiting half an
hour for developments it was an
nounced by the judges that the mon
eys in the unfinished races would be
awarded as per the summaries of
the heats finished.
This was generally satisfactory,
and it was also announced that the
next meeting of the club would be
held in July, 1896, in the week CORE
spending to the one just closed.
There would be a $4,000 Derby and
other events, as in the meeting just
finished.
One feature of the meeting Just
closed which deserves commenda-
ton is the street car service which
has been given the patrons of the
meeting. With the exception of
Monday night, when through mis-
understanding the special train serv-
ice was called in Immediately follow
ing the Derby, and before the other
races were finished, the accommoda-
| lions have been excellent
The meeting which closed last
night was undoubtedly the best seen
here or elsewhere in many years.
Certainly it is long time since the
Northwest turf has borne at one
time such goers as Fantasy, Direc-
tum, Hal Pointer, Robert J, Ken
lucky Union, David B, Nightingale
and Fairywood. And the events in
the various classes were all we'll
contested. No winner had an easy
time of it, but had to show his best
blood first, last and all the time.
THE 2:19 TROT.
The first race called, the PIG trot.
showed half a dozen starters, Queen
| Alfred, Jersey Belle, Drum Major,
Charming Chimes, Kate Caffrey and
Silena T.
They had hard time scoring, but
finally succeeded in getting away,
with Selma F a shade ahead of the
pole horse. In the turn Queen AL
fred took the lead, with Silena F sec
ond and Kate Caffrey third Charm
ing Chimes, who led the pole, broke
and went clear to the rear. The Or
der was the same to the third quar-
ter, when Silena F closed up the gap
between her and Queen Alfred, and
| they came down the stretch together.
Selma winning by something better
than a length. The time was brisk,
2:161a. Kate Caffrey finished third,
Jersey Belle fourth, Charming Chimes
fifth and Drum Major last.
There was more trouble scoring
for the second heat. Queen Alfred
refused to come to the scratch. and
when they did finally get off Jersey
Belle was behind and in the rear,
from which she never fully recov-
cred. Silena F took the lead and
never was headed. Queen Alfred was
second at the quarter, Caffrey third
and Charming Chimes fourth. In
the back stretch Colby passed Geers,
who later broke and went clear back.
There was close finish for second
place, Kate Caffrey taking it from
Queen Alfred. Charming Chimes was
fourth, Drum Major fifth and Jer-
sey Belle sixth. Time. 2:15%.
Silena F had it all her own way in
the last heat. Queen Alfred had a
trifie the worst of the start, but
Campbell gave the sign and McCar-
| thy sent them off. Silena f led at
the turn, Kate Caffrey second and
| Campbell close up. At the quarter
| it was the same, but before reaching
the half the Texas mare passed Kate
