ment- This seemed to please him and
he came in with a good rein a length
and a half ahead. The time for the
mile was 2:111a.
A long rest was taken after this heat,
as beside the rubbing down, Fantasy
had to be reshod, and especial care
was to be taken to prevent the aggra-
walton of her injury, so it was after
$50 when the horses again appeared on
the track for the final trial. The race,
as before, was between Fantasy and
Directum, the former manifesting no
Ill effects from the accident of the
previous heat, and resulted in close
finish, although not so close a one as
marked the first and third heats. Di-
rectum was second, David B third and
Kentucky Union fourth, the moneys
going in that order also.

THE 2:s7 TRoT.
The last race was for three-year-
olds or under in the 2:37 class trot-
The starters were Medium Wood
Symphony B, Heresy and Cosette A.
They went off we'll together, Heresy
perhaps having a shade the best of
it, but not any decided advantage. Me-
dunn Wood soon took the lead. and
held it all the way around, the race
taking the form of a procession, with
Cosette A, Heresy, Symphony 3 fol-
lowing in the order given. Time,
2:2Ha.
In the scoring for the second heat
Symphony BIS right tire blew out
with a snap like a pistol shot, and
there was another delay of half an
hour. When they did get off Fuller had
a new brown sulky, but he didn't get
into the game. Cosette gave Medium
Wood a stiff brush to the half, but
could not keep up, and Dunbar brought
Birchwood's colt under the wire an
easy winner by three lengths. IIerssy
was third and Symphony B fourth.
Time, 2:3111.

PROGRAMME FOR TODAY.
Today will be the greatest day of
the Minneapolis summer meeting. In
addition to the great programme of
races there will be such an exhibition
of trotting and pacing horses as was
never before seen on an American
track. The famous old Hal Pointer,
the great Fantasy, who yesterday
made Directum lower his colors; the
fastest horse that the world has yet
produced, the invincible Robert ], and
Directum himself, great in his Gay of
The musical programme for the day
is one of the greatest the band has
yet rendered. All in all the day will
be a grand one. The races for the day
are the 2:14 pace, with ten entries; the
2:16 trot, with eleven entries; the 2:21
trot, with seventeen entries, and the
2:2S pace, with ten entries. Not heat
in all the day but what will be trot-
comes pretty near being horse racing.
The arrangements made by the
street railway company are perfect
and the crowds will be transferred
from the track to the city after the
races are over with ightning-like
rapidity. Three-minute trains will be
run during the entire afternoon.
There was but one opinion expressed
regarding the race between Directum.
the California whirlwind, and Fantasy,
the proud queen from the Empire state,
and that was that it was the grandest
ever witnessed in Minnesota, and one
of the greatest in the history of the
American turf. Col. King, who has
seen all of the fast horses of two gen
erations, was seated with c. J. Ham
lin, owner of Fantasy, in the upper
section of the judges stand and said
! TO the @ o b e: Il have seen horse
races before, but never one like that.
/ It will be many a day before the peo-
| pie of Minnesota see its equal" Mr.
Hamlin was very proud of the distinc-
! tion his wonderful mare had achieved,
but had little to say, except to COM
| pliment Ed F. Geers, the driver, and
| pay a tribute to the mare. Geers him
self said that the race would have
been won in three heats but for the
fact that Fantasy broke on the first
turn. He was willing to admit that
Directum is a, whirlwind, but thinks
Fantasy the greatest horsee of the
present day in the trottiug world.
Thomas H. Green, the owner OF
| Directum, witnessed the defeat of the
| pride of his stable and had no apollo
| gies to make.
I'VE did not win and that is all
! there is to it." was his philosophical
! remark. Jimmie Dustin, who drives
! Directum, and who has come to look
| upon him as invincible. was not SO
| complacent. I'VE would have won had
distance not been waIved," said he.
''Why. just look how Geers came trail
! ing in in that fourth heat. Had there
| been a distance flag he would have
| been obliged TO travel faster, and his
mare would not have been prepared to
! take the final heat"
! Secretary Jones said of the race:
The association loses an even $500
| by reason of the distance being waived.
! Had it not been done there would have
| been a shut out, and we should have
had one less money to pay. But the
owners of all the horses wanted dis
tance waived. and the association. ever
ready and willing TO please the horse
