The Banana Eaters Of Kentucky.

Ono Of tho most novel and interesting
events IN sporting circles which has occur
red in the city for some time was the
banana eating contest between two prom
inent young mon of the city, Messrs
Garrett Welsh and John Luby, which took
place In the fruit stand of Mr.. Fugazzi,
on Main street, last night. The contest
was the outgrowth of some remarks made
some timo previous on tho capacity of the
contestants, Each had friends present
who wcro backing them clear of Of the
boards. The summary is as follows: At
tho drop Of the flag Starter Dan Crow sent
them off to good start, with Welsh a
half banana in tho lead. He led Luby to
the quarter, where he was overtaken. At
the half Luby had 88 bananas to his credit
with Welsh close second with SO. Here
Welsh went out after the money, and at
the three-quarters it WAS Welsh by ba.
nanas, but Welsh was showing signs Of
distress Turning into tho stretch, Luby's
jockey, McGurk, went for another stalk
OF bananas and succeeded in nosing out
Welsh in fast time. Time: Luby, 81 ba-
nanas; Welsh, 81 bananas. Both ran q
consistent raoe, and with better Jockey
than McGinnis, Welsh should have won.
Both were sent to the stable to rest up.
