"Old Bess" and His Jockey.

Out came one of the first He had no

tired for having served his best DAYS in

IN the grandStand cried out: Mamma is
that Old Bess? and there were others
ana divers haWl outs. old BeSS'' was
ridden by one Of The three-score rousta-
bouts of Calder's stables who, aside from
welding a club with great success upon
Ola BeSS ears, could swear delightful
" upon the slightest prOvOcatiOn for the
edi1cation of the grandstand.
Pretty soon the race started, Nelson and
Hodgert pacing Julius on tandem. and
the horse leading by a couple of hundred
feet The contest was getting interesting
when, upon nearing the stable entrance.
1t occurred to old BeSs' that he had
eaten no breakfast, and he SHE'D off in a
manner calculated to throw the rider
through the barn door.
II took the combined efforts of Sam
Clark and a tribe Of barn boys. with hats
and pickets, to coax "Old Bess' into the
race again, but he went once around and
the relay caught on. being by this time
about seventy-five yards in the rear of
the wheelmen. Owing to the fact that
said relay got ahead of "Old BesS'' be
fore the wire was reached. the Judges
deducted the distance. on a basis of about
100 yards for fifteen feet.
The scenes following were but repeti-
tons of the one described. The first mile
was covered in about 2:35, according to
the toy watch. the second in 800 the
third in 2:50 and the fourth in Sis. the
variation being due to the long distance
the paCemakeTS had to ride there being
so few of them to take turns
