(By Associated Press.)

Columbus, O., July 3O.-The Columbus

auspiciously yesterday afternoon with

excellent racing We're the features. ="
The 2:14 pace was the first race on the

the bell. Martha Marshall. driven by
Andy Mcdowell, was installed favorite
at $50 to $50 for the field. Captain
Sphynx took the first heat and the favor

the second heat a full second. In the
fourth and fifth heats she caused trouble
while scoring and got away badly each
time. Only the four heat winners APP
peared for the sixth heat and Martha
Marshall stepped to the front at once
and kept her position to the wire.
The 2:23 trot was a disappointment in
that it had only four starters. Country
Jay, who was second to Eleata at both
Detroit and Cleveland. was looked upon
as sure winner, but May Allen, an, In

trotting him and winning three straight

Another Day When the Talent Guessed
and Got the Worst of It-Ida v.
Beaten by Virgie dor Alaria
and Abba L. Prove Good
ThinCs-Other Res,,1ts
Things-Other Results,


1t is a cinch it was not Shakespeare
Dick Croker. or any other illustrious per-
sonage who coined the expression 1.-The
fellow who does the guessing, gets the
worst of it," but that matters little.
Whoever the man. he was wise guy in
his generation and that fact was amply
tested at the race track yesterday after
noon. II was a day of ups and downs,
like an elevator boys life, and though the
favorites had the best of it, it is doubt
ful If the talent, as a whole, made much
money. There We're surprises and sur
pllses do not come to those who win on
horse races. 1t is the losers who are sur
prised.
The chief surprise was mentioned in
yesterdays report. 1t came in the first
race when Joe X, at 20 to e. simply stole
the money and put the talent up queer
street" There was chance to get even
in the second, on Louwe.sea, according
to the tip and Campbelrs filly at to
was supposed to be the real thing, over
Parazaide, the to favorite. The re-
suit can be told in three words-the IA
vorite lost.
The third race, a selling at five fur
longs, brought together hard bunch to
select from. A wild tip on Aunt Mary
set the talent plunging on the mare, but
the wise ones who had heard she could
not win, put their money on Heigh Ho
whose price remained at even money
while Aunt Mary went to 6 to 5. From
somewhere came the tip that Ell Mido
was out to win at 10 to l. but she was
never a contender. Heigh Ho finished
first, with Ellis Glenn at Is to /, second
and Aunt Mary third. The time was 1:01.
Ida ", was touted as the good thing
in the fourth, a selling at one mile. She
was heavily played at 2 to l but the best
she could do was finish third. The race
went to Virgie dOr, at 5 to 2. with
Barney F., at 4 to l second. The time
was 1:42 ga.
July Gyp was the surprise in the fifth
race, a six furlongs selling. Alaria was
made the favorite though considerab BILE
money went in on Odd Eyes, Montanus
and Donator, thus sending Alaria's price
up from 6 to to 9 to 5. July Gyp was
so to /. 1t was Alaria's race all the way
and she won by four lengths. July Gyp
surprised all by finishing second, half a
length in front of Yule, at 10 to /. The
time was Ills 1-2.
The talent could see nothing but Jack
in the last, a dash at three and half
furlongs, but Jack could do no better
than second and lots of money, at to s.,
was soaked on the gelding Abbie L. was
the good thing that the wise ones follow
ed at to l and she rewarded her back
ers by coming home, half a length in
front of the favorite who was three
lengths ahead of Walkapaugh, at 10 to l.
The time was 40.

DUMONTS SIDERABLE BALLOON
Brazilian Aeronaut Makes Successful
Trip But Declines to Go Around
Eiffel Tower

Paris, July 3O.-M. Santos Dumont
made another successful experiment yes
terday afternoon with a dirigible balloon,
sailing from st. Cloud to Longchamps
race course, around which he steered
the balloon and assembled and descended
occupying 20 minutes Of time.
Though asked to make an attempt tn
go around the Eiffel tower, the aeronaut
declined, saying his motor was not yet
working as we'll as he wanted. The
weather was cloudy, which may have in
fluenced his decision.
During the trip NJ. Dumont cut one Of
his hands slightly with guide rope.
Otherwise there was no accident. The
crowd warmly cheered M. Dumont at the
start and on his descent his friends
crowded around him and warmly con-
graduated him upon his success. The
aeronaut started at ABS p. M, and de-
scended at ASS p. m.
The exhibition, though successful, was
disappointing, in that he did not go
around the Eiffel tower, though he had
announced his intention of attempting
that feat. An hour later a heavy rain
squall swept over the Eiffel tower and
the Boise, which justified the prudence OF
NJ. Santos Dumont in declining to make
a further ascension yesterday.
When the balloon was maneuvering
over the Longchamps racecourse smoke
was seen to be Issuing from the motor
which NJ. Dumont said. on descending,
was due to slight defect in the appara-
tus. He was satisfied, he could make
the trip to the Eiffel tower and back but
apparently feared he would not be able
to obtain sufficient speed to fulfill the
conditions of the Deutsch prize.
