Who Is 1t to an easy victory in the 212
class trotttng. that opinion was strengthen
in the meet.
The day was lowering, but the crowd at
the races was the biggest yet. The lck
was mealy from Tuesday nights rain and
was made heavy later by drizzle and fog
which came In from the sea. The damp
ness did the most to upset the calculations.
Tor the heats were decided in the home
stretch, with the strongest horses well at
the front. Sometimes the time suffered a
little. out so many finishes were whipping
ones that the average was cut but little
The stake race brought out fifteen start
ers, with Bonnatella e. 10Ll. the strong ia
vorite. In fifteenth place. Fred Kohl t2.0'aD
sixth, Tom Boy (211A) eleventh and Queen
Alfred t212&D at the pole. With such
crowd. starting the heats was no sinecure.
In the first two heats Tom Boy and Charley
Herr fought all the way from the first
quarter to the wire. Each time Lecco
broke repeatedly, but would steady ~ewn
so that In the stretch he strobe by the field
with great ease and got his nose to the
leaders flank. and then all the drivers
would whip their horses.
The next time Tom Boy showed tired
leeinH, ana Herr was so strong that no one
questioned his right to lead until the last
quarter, when the favorite, Bonnatelia,
mace her hackers happy by grand but
fruitless burst of speed SurpoI also show
back
In the fourth heat Lecco did not break.
anu aIter racing Herr all the way around,
made an easy finish by two lengths
Inc NTH heat was similar, and the oues-
tlon OF putting the race over arose With
DARKNESS coming on, the judges called out
lne neat winners The word was quickly
given for the next heat, and Lecco and
Charley Herr began to leave Tom Boy in
the rear. Lecco broke at the quarter half
ana three-quarters each time dropping
BACK many yards, but yet only half dis
lance between the first and third horses
On the last quarter Lecco ran so much that
ne came up to Herr and in the last six
teenth poked his nose in the lead and went
under the wire first
everybody waited for the announcement
an when it came Lecco went into second
place for running. Excitement prevailed
put the judges decision was accepted with
fair grace.
All the other races had rafting finishes
IN every heat, although the two-in-three
styie maze quick close. In the 2IS trot-

GENESEE AGAIN WINS.
Another American Victory for the
Canada's Cup.

Canada's Cup.
Another victory for the American yacht
Genesee in Genesee weather was the result
of yesterdays race in the Canada's cup
series on Lake Ontario. The course yes
terday was nine miles to windward and re-
turn. The challenger displayed unexpected
windward qualities. while the defender, on
the other hand, surprised all her admirers
by her speed in running.
The racers were sent over the line at 12:2o
pm. The Canadian boat, after series Oh
clever M neuvers. was in the weather po-
sition at the start, and led over the line
by a few seconds Genesee. although TO
leeward at once commenced to draw anead
and was loudly cheered.
Beaver lost time at the outside buoy by
having to make two tacks to the chal-
lerger's one and was thus left considerably
astern The Yankee tarS were very quick
in setting their balloon canvas, but Bea-
yer came right after them and he'd up to
windward -
The run home was exciting, for Skipper
Jarvis of the Beaver was not beaten until
the very last second. When the yachts
were within a half mile of the hnlsnlng
out to starboard. Jarvis attempted to luI
ND and blanket GeneSee, and very nearly
succeeded The two yachts jibed again. ana
the attempt at blanketing was repeated,
and again failed. Beaver was too far
astern. Finally Beaver came ON with ner
spiunaker to starboard. while Genesee
travelled ahead with her spinnaker to port.
1t was a very close finish. so close ina.
those on shore were scarcely able TO Tell
which yacht was ahead. The American
boat won and was greeted with tremen-
deus cheers from Canadians and Americans

LOGAN KNOWN IN BALTIMORE.
Was an Exhibitor at Ex-Gov. Browns
Horse Show.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Mr.. John A. Logan, jr.. was well known
in Baltimore. Several years ago when ex-
Gov. Frank Brown was the principal pro-
moter of the horse show given at Union
Park, Mr.. Logan was one of the chief ex-
hbitors, and brought with him one of the
smartcst collections of high-bred horses and
fancy equipages ever seen on a tan bark
ring. He became a popular favorite at the
exhibition, and did much to enhance its
social prominence.
1t was during that exhibition that young
Mr.. Logan became involved in a heated
argument with one of the attendants, who
at that time was one of the attaches of a
well-known hunt club and The incident was
carried to such an extreme that the men
came to blows. Both of the bel!igerents
were fine specimens of manhood and until
they were separated there was a lively
scrmmage. Mr.. Logan more than held
his own with his big antagonist, and came
! out of the alteration none the worse for
wear. This passage-at-arms is well remem-
| bered, and created no little comment at the
| time
An incident in Ma jor Logan's life, how
| ever, which gave him unpleasant notorety
| and his mother much trouble, occurred at
| the coronation of Car Nicholas of Russia
| in 1896 to which he invited. Gen.
| Alexander Mcdowell McCook was named
| by the President to appear as special rep
| resentative of the United States. He, as a
|
perfect right to appear in fun uniform, sash
and all. Mr.. Logan appeared in the rather
| gaudy uniform of a colonel of militia. The
| clothes were SO bespangled as to attract
| far more attention than the toggery of
| Gen. McCook, and he was naturally net
| tied. He mildly at first and then strenu-
