PRINCE STEVENS GOES IN 2:14

The horse matinee at KittSondale yes
terday was an unqualified success and
in q tWo-fold sense was a glowing affair.
A kindly disposed southeasterly breeze
tempered the tOrrid efforts of Old Sol
and in measure soOthed the red-hot
feelings of the spectators as they
watched the throat-latcn finishes in sew
eral heats. The fast mile track was in
superb condition and the horses in fine
fettle and it was well worth the eXtraor-
binary effort that caused many to hesi-
tate in going out. Quite contingent of
Minneapolis horse lovers came over to
cheer their royal favorite, Prince
Stevens, who made the fastest nile of
the day, but nodestly refrained from
taking the race, owing chiefly to his sue
ceSsful idea to dance a pas a. seul in
, the second heat on the back stretch and
an Anoka skirt dance in the third neat.
But horse races were not the only
sport the many spectators were treated
to for on the greensward in the infield
the st. Paul and Minneapolis Cricket
cubs stroVe valiantly while the Kittson-
dale Gun club made merry ensemble
to the pit-a-pat of the sidewheelers and
the rat-tat-rat-tat of the smoothly NOV
ing rotters.
Many ladies were present, clad in
fetching summer gowns and it proved
to he most attractive spot for all.
The races which, owing to the heat,
were not called until nearly o'clock,
once commenced, were fast and furi-
Gus. w. G. CARING made an efficient
starting judge and Messrs. H M Stock
ing, president of the Capital City Driv-
ing club; II. II. Penniman and George
A. Nash acted as deciding judges, while
William Hamm and r. F. Jones held
the watches most satisfactorily.
THE FREE-FOR-ALI1 PACE.
The first race called was the free
for-all pace and two sturdy steeds
ambled forth for the word. They were
the handsome chestnut gelding, Prince
Stevens, from Minneapolis, and William
Hamms Olesa. Prince Stevens,
MacLean, drew the pole. and Gus Pare
mann handled the ribbons on O4esa.
The word was soon given and round the
first turn the two swept on even terms.
Down the back stretch they fairly few,
and a blanket would nave sufficed to
cover both. 1t was a mighty pretty
race. Coming round into the home
stretch, Mr. MacLean let out a link in
the royal prince and he came under the
wire winner by two open lengths. The
time of this race, which was phenom-
inally fast, taking the weather into con-
sideration, by quarters was as follows:
Quarter, 80; half, 1:01h; three-quarters,
1877; mile, 2:14. Prince Stevens record
was 2:l6A, therefore he lowered it in this
heat .0214 seconds and could have gone
faster if called upon to do so.
The second heat was won in drive
right at the wire, for Stevens made bad
break just after getting the word, and
after making few 'stopped-to- get-a-
lemonade" motions, caught and set sail
for the mare, who eased up a trif1e after
getting a lead of twenty lengths. Prince,
however, did not like this, and down the
home stretch crowded the mare, but she
was too Shifty and won out in 2:1S, MUCH
to the delight of the st. Paul contingent.
The third heat was won by Olesa, for
the Prince failed to see the necessity of
going swiftly and truly at the pace, so
halted momentarily, Skied and chirruped
on the back stretch at the crieketers, but
his master seriously objected to such
uncouth actions and wheedled him into
getting under full sail after Olesa was a
good eighth of mile ahead. When he
got squared away he fairly few around
the stretch into the far turn and had
his head on Olesa's wheel as they thun-
dered down towards the wire, but OleSa
was not to be gainsaid any such treat
ment, and shook him off at the finish.
