ming of Big Dutch
Gossip of the Boxers


The attendance at the saucer last night
was better than on any previous night
of the week, and the sport offered was
certainly as good as any yet presented.
The chief feature was the tifteen-mile
motor pace match race between Glenn
Turville and John Chapman and next of
interest was the five-mile open profess
sonal, with four prizes and two addi-
tional prizes for the winners of the
greatest and second greatest number of
laps.
The motor paced race was won by
Chapman by short length. after a
beautiful sprint for something over
lap. The time was S1:04 and the fast
est mile was done in 1865. The result of
the race was in doubt until the tape was
crossed. 1t was splendid exhibition of
speed and endurance and greatly en-
Unused the crowd.
The tive-nlile open professional fur
nished rare sport. 1t was a good race
from the start and as the pace alternated
between John Lawson and Staver and
was hot the riders were kept going all
the time. The race was won by 1ver
Lawson, with John Green second, Artie
Bell third, and John Burris fourth. The
time was 1888. John Lawson got the
first lap prize. with &c laps to his credit
and Staver got second additional money
with Is laps.
The one-mile open amateur introduced
a new rider, McGeever of Salt Lake, who
strutted about like a sure winner. His
chestiness was much in excess of his
ability as rider. however. and the best
he could do was fourth. The race was
Won by Holman, scratch, with Barnett,
80 yards, second. and Allen. so yards,
third The time was 200 3-5. There will
be no races until tomorrow night.
