Fritz Regina Wins, Billy Walker Second.
Lady Hearst Third.
In spite of the regulation storm there
was a big crowd at West Side park yes
terday to see the conclusion of the MirN.s'
union stake run off. OF the original SO
1G had dropped out Sunday, leaving the
pick of the bunch to try conclusions. In
the early part of the afternoon the hares
ran like demons, five escaping in the first
eight courses. Then it stormed, they got
chilled and did not run so well, though
there were only two or three courses that
could really be called short, ..--
1t was supposed that Little Empress
would lead Smut in the run up In the Ilrst
course, and that the latter would proba-
bly, outstay her and win if they got
good hare. They got a screamer and
Smut led up well and never left the issue
in doubt. Empress was the favorite at
from to to to 3. Lady Hearst was
looked upon as cinch to beat Sapphire,
and did, though the big brindle and white
made a good race, the hare escaping.
Billy Walker led O'Connell and beat
him all the way. SLOUGH did the same to
Leadress, leading her five or six lengths
for the first turn. That very smart pup
py King Cashier had a little too much
speed for the game Tornado. King is
probably the best youngster in Montana.
unless Lobelia can beat him. A trial be-
tween them would be worth going long
way to see.
Blue Bird beat Mayfiower easily and
Fitz Regina never let Daisy Bell score.
Then came great race. The betting men
made Gypsy M. hot favorite at 3 to l,
though the friends of Rash Adventurer
backed her down from to /. The first
go was merry one, Adventurer getting
first turn by a comfortable length, which
surprised even her friends, for it was
not thought the white bitch had the speed
Then followed some rapid exchanges, both
smart little bitches whrling like mon
keys, and Gypsy killed. Score, 5-3, an
undecided
Adventures friends took courage and
backed her down for even money. She
led up by two lengths and won easily.
In the third round Lady Hearst, at to
I. disposed of Smut quite easily. Billy
Walker put a stop on Slouch's preten-
sons, though the big brindle broke out of
| slips first and led to the hare. King CASH
Ter led Blue Bird at least three lengths
| and ran rings around her on the hare, and
Fitz Regina had a sensational mixture
| with Adventure, which ended with the
dogs and hare piled up in a heap against
the south fence. Fitz won, but by the
| skin of his teeth.
In the semi-finals they made Billy Wal
ker a 3 to l favorite over Lady Hearst
| which did not look reasonable, since the
| Anaconda bitch had led and beaten Flash
light, and some thought Billy had his
work cut out to beat her But the game
| little fawn led her two lengths, put the
| hare to her for one and killed with rush
that landed him on his back. He cams
| back to the kennels a little lame. KnE
Cashier scored the early points with Fitz
| leading him two lengths for first. Ther
Fltz got in, and as might have been ex
| pected, outlasted him on a strong hare
to the escape In crossing the gull,
| Judge Caravan was thrown against thu
horn of the saddle by his horse stumbling
and lost his seat. He chung to the sadd1
with his face turned toward the dogs un
| til the course was over, then dropped of
| and Immediately flew Fitz' flag. Man!
| thought he could not have seen all tn,
points, and it seems likely he could not
| but the majority thought the decision
| right in any event.
George Morrison judged the final be
tween Billy and Fitz. The first hare wa!
a poor one and broke back toward TIL
| corral. Billy killed him in the gully, Fit
having got mixed up with the judge
| horse. Decision. no course, and quit
right. In the run-off Billy was quite lam
and Fitz led up, turned and wrenched
when Billy made one of his grand stanc

would like to see King Cashier and Lo

aged stake would entitle him to a rest
