A tandem ridden by Rob White and
Ralph Gregory paced the principal
| races. Although these two boys have
| been riding tandem for only about a
| week they did their work in excellent
shape and never got in the way OF the
| speedy ones.
During intermissions two exhibitions
in fancy riding were given. one by the
diminutive Leroy Davenport, and the
other by Miles Gibbons, Of this city.
The little fellows work was very good,
| and 1t might be said phenomenal for a
| child Of his tender years. Mr.. Glib
bons essayed more difficult feats and
surprised everybody by his work, few Of
his friends knowing that he was so re-
| markably clever in trick riding He
does all Of the most difficult feats per-
formed by travelling trick riders, and
introduced some of his own which he
alone does.
The officers Of the meet were: H. b.
Bunting, announcer and starter; Joseph
w. Carney, jr., manager; John J. Van
Mort, referee: Willis Kemmerer, G. d.
Ogden and w. L. Carr. timers; Henry
Hitchcock, Charles Carr and Ed. Bit
tenbender. judges; I. l.. ,Rowlson and
Howard Davis, clerks of the course.
The Lawrence band from the elevated
alcove In the new grand stand dis
| coursed excellent music during the af-
ternoon under the leadership of Profess.
| sor Lindsay, and In the evening the
| Lawrence orchestra rendered a selected
programme at the club house, where
the distribution Of the prices took place.
