Eve1eth Had Decided to Win
The Race-And >S.:.:..~.
She Did. ;.
A RANK DECISION.

A large number of Virginians
were among those who witnessed
the horse race at Ely lake on Friday
afternoon last between Clara CIV.
1. Bailey's trotter, and Ben Hur, OF
Eveleth, and more Disguised par
ty of enthusiasts never returned
from anywhere. The disgust was
not actuated by any failure on the
part Of Clara c to do her work and
do it we'll, but by the decision of
thesjudges, who apparently intend
ed and did win the race against
great odds by awarding the decis-
ion to the Eveleth horse. ."
While being taken to the course
in the morning Clara C ran away,
coming from Ely lake to Eveletn,
and was still wringing wet when
taken from the barn to be placed on
the track. This condition, however,
did not seem to deter her from en-
tering into the zest of the occasion
as evidenced by the fact that she
won the first four heats, the first of
which was called no heat, the start
er whistling the drivers back after
the start. The second heat was
called. by the Judges, dead heat,
although won fairly by Mr.. Bailey's
fleet footed mare. After this decis-
ion Mr.. Bailey, who was personally
driving his animal, let her~oo as
she came down the stretch and won
the next two heats by a margin of
from three hundred to seven hun
dred feet. avoiding all danger of a
repetition of SO rank a decision as
that accorded in the first heat. The
fifth heat was very close one, the
trap wheels being locked at the
wire. This was in the mitt of the
judges, and Ben Hur was given the
heat, of course. In the sixth heat
Clara c cast shoe and Ben Hu1
won by length. -

DEAD HEATS.

DEAD HEATS.
AS stakeholder w. H. Eaton is
said to be O. X. At any rate he
still holds the hundred dollar purse
and will continue to do so until
told by Mr.. Bailey what disposition
to make of same.
The purse has not yet changed
hands, although it is said fully forty
cents went to the winners on the
judges decision.
Had Ben Hur been her instead of
him he might have made the moral
strain on the judges much lighter.
A second race, for purse of $500,
is next on the tapis. And care will
be taken that it is won by the horse
instead of the judges.
The Ely lake course is immense.
Virginia has an opportunity for an
equally fine one, and another sea-
son will doubtless see some sport
at this point:
The weather was cool, but many
of the crowd were warm at some
stage of the game.
Mr.. Bailey should teach Clara c
to stick out her tongue as che comes
under the wire, when such fair
Judges are at the helm.

attendance at the show was good both afternoon
and evening.
One OF the most popular features of the show this
is the practice adopted by the different manu-
facturers OF having machines outside the Garden
which take visitors tours through the CITY.
Sometimes these tours extend outside the borough
limits. and many trips have been made through the
driveways in Central Park. The plan seems to give
satisfaction than the scheme used last year
of having small track in the Garden, where the
machines were shown in motion
