FRED FOSTERS TRIUMPH.
St. Paul thurman Back From the
Coast a Winner All Around.

t..
Coast a Winner All Around.
CHICAGO, May 20.-Fred Foster, buoy
ant, cheerful, and with his usual confident
demeanor, returned to Chicago from the
Pacific coast, after anT absence of six
more or less exciting months. There is the
glow of health in his cheeks, and he has
taken on weight in spite Of his legal bat
ties In California, and the weight of the
$780, 900 in bonds which he was from time
to time required to furnish to keep his
freedom But, to use his own express
sion, The was kept pretty busy for a
time" The turfman was charged with a
variety of crimes, including those Of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses and
perjury, but he cleared himself of every
charge, and returns home with a legal
certificate of good character as well as a
half interest in the $40, coo 2syear-old yell
low Tail and the 5000 3-year-old Sam
McKeever. A. P. Howard, known as the
Australian plunger," who caused Fos-
ter all the trouble, was forced to accept
$4,000 for his interest in Yellow Tail and
Sam McKeever, for which he paid Sc. 900.
and was in turn arrested on the charge of
perjury. In addition Howard had several
pages of his past life reviewed in court,
much to his discontinue. '.'..
Aside from the fact that Foster cleared
himself and won his legal fight. the local
turtles are chiefly Interested in the own
ership Of the two colts which caused him
all the trouble. They are now stabbed at
the Sheffield Qnd.) track. where they have
been for a month or more, and are reg
istered with the Lakeside Jockey club as
owned by Fred Foster and ward HACK
EFT. That these twor men, ares eGuah pant
ners and absolute owners fbf the; colts, is
shown by an agreement Of partnership
certified to by FRANKIE. Jordans1eler of
the superior court of Alameda county,
California. which ,reads@as follows:
know all men by thesel presents that
l, Fred Foster, and Edward sHackett are
equal, partners in and owners, each own
ing an equal one half interest In the fol-
lowing horses. to wit: 80 =.
"One bay colt, Sam McKeeyer. three
years old, by Sam Lucas. dam Elite Me-
Keever.
"one chestnut colt named Yellow Tail
two years old, by Imp. Watercress, dam
Imp. Paloma.
Fired Foster,
Edward Hackett."
This certainly settles the question Of the
present ownership of the horses.
There has been SO much said about the
purchase Of the colt, and whose money
back the check he gave to Burns 6 Wa
In addition, he holds bill of sale, which
reads:
I've hereby sell to Fred Foster, CHI C.,
two, Yellow Tail, by imp. Watercress,
dam imp. Paloma. Consideration, $40, 900.

He also holds a bill of sale for Sam Nc
Keever. showing that he, paid T. G. Fer
guson 5000 for him. os13E,..

In the world, to which must be added the
fact that he Is not given 20 boasting, it
will be seen that the wonderful possibili-
ties of motor pacing are almost beyond
credence. The Boston rider is having two
excellent motors constructed for his use.
He believes that by this means he can
reduce any record that stands OIL the
books today.

CHALLENGE ON THE WAY.
Oxford and Cambridge. Seek Athletic
Contest With Yale and Harvard.

Oxford and Cambridge. Seek Athletic
Contest With Yale and Harvard.
LONDON. May 2O.-The American line
steamer Paris, which sails for New York
today from Southampton, takes chal-
lenge from Oxford and Cambridge uni
verSities to the Universities Of Yale and
Harvard for an athletic contest to take
place on the ground Of the Queens club,
London, during the last week in July.
The programme consists OF the following
events: '''e
One hundred yards dash, 120 yards
hurdle race, quarter mile run, half-mtle
run, three miles run, hammer throwing,
high jump, long jump.
This is the regular Oxford and Cam
bridge programme, with a half-mlle run
substituted for putting the weight to the
new rules, of which event the English
university men are not yet accustomed
The challenge rigidly insists that every
American opponent must, like themselves
be absolutely a student and absolutely
an amateur athlete. From communica-
lions exchanged between the representa-
tives of Oxford and Cambridge and par
ties in America, there is but little doubt
that the challenge will be accepted. The
meeting will be a great attraction at the
close of the London season, more espe-
cially if the presence of the Prince of
Wales. United States Ambassador Choate
and Lord Rosebery is secured, as is al
ready stated to be the case.
The university men here who have the
matter at heart, including members of
both teams. are anxious for the match.
They feel that the proposal sent to the
United States is a very sportsmanlike
offer and they are confident it will be
accepted. The Englishmen point out
that so far as the Americans are con-
eerned they know their own strength and
the strength Of their rivals, as revealed
by the Oxford-Cambrfdge sports In
March, but that they the challengers,
are ignorant of what their opponents
may have succeeded in accomplishing in
intercollegiate sports. This. they. say.
bodies nothing but good, and a most gen
uine match with the most genuine desire
that the best side may win.

wagon load of sand from a sand pit on
Fifteenth street, between Jackson and
Fairview streets, when the team became
unmanageable, and McNierney was
thrown out under the wheels. One wheel
passed over his chest, crushing him so
severely that he died before assistance
could be summoned.
When the accident happened McNeirney
had almost reached the foot Of a hill
leading from the sand pit to the street.
He sat on an unsecured board with his
feet hanging over close to the horses
Suddenly the animals became frightened,
either at locomotive whistle or passing
street car. and plunged down the incline.
A large rock stood in the way, and when
one of the wheels struck the obstruction
McNeirney was thrown forward between
the horses. The animal kicked and plung-
ed on, while McNefrney chung to the pole
for a moment, and then dropped in front
of the wheels. In an instant one of the
front wheels struck him under the right
arm and passed over his chest. dfagonal1y
toward the neck. Several witnesses Of
the accident ran to the PROSTATE man,
and pulled him from under the wagon,
butait was apparent that he was fatally
hurt. The central patrol wagon was sum-
mened to take the injured man to the
hospital, but before It's arrival McNeirney
was dead. $3.50. 60.
The team McNeirney was driving had
been recently purchased by him. and were
young horses unused to city streets In

wagon. !.

age. and had lived in St. PCaul nearly
thirty years. He leaves a wife and four
children, three girls and a son, the lat

WISCONSIN DID WE'LL.
Lost to Michigan, but Showed Some
Fine Athletic Material.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, May 20.-Michigan
won the dual field and track meet from
Wisconsin today, 70 to So, but the car
dinGls showed up some fine material, and
Coach Moakley deserves credit for the
team he has rounded out. Mclean was
the star for Michigan, winning the 100
yard hurdle, in s:15 ga clipping 2-5 off
the Intercollegiate record, and within 10
second of the worlds record while In the
broad jump he went 81 feet inches. He
also ran second to O'Dea, in the 220-yard
hurdle. and third in both the 100 yard
dash ard 220-yard dash. In these two
events Fox and MCGOWAN repeated their
performance of a week ago, running al
most dead heat In each The referee
gave both events to Fox. Spoat captured
both the mile and quarter-mile bicycle
races, Taylor being close second in the
short event. A stiff north wind prevented
good time in anything but the dashes,
where the men had the wind to their
backs. which accounts for the 10h-yard
dash being done in ten seconds fat At
