sional, in which l. U. Kinsey and C.
p. Connery were the entries. 1t was
ridden in very fair time, and was won
by Kinsey, who beat Connery by q
scant half length. This is Connery's
first entry into the professional events.
He and Kinsey will meet again to-mor-
row, however, in a one-mile race, and
for the best two out of a half-mile.
one-mile and five-m mile race. The con-
test will begin at 4:S0 o'clock, the start
ing point being on the beach before the
South End pavilion.
None of the races were run In spe-
cially good time, nor were even inter-
esting from a spectators viewpoint. be-
cause of the large and unmanageable
crowd that thronged the beach, closed
in on the course, and made 1t impossi-
BILE either to start or finish the races
without the possibility of somebody's
getting hurt.
In the 100-yard dash there were eight
entries. 1t was won by j. A. Dukes,

Ate Eleven Pies in FIFTEEN Minutes.
Not the least interesting of the
events was the pie-eating contest. In
order to make it as public as possible
the four negroes that took part were
seated on the tin shed of the sotcl
hanging over, and watched by hum
dreds gathered on the lawn below, they
destroyed enough pies to furnish
small sized bakery. There was sporting
blood in the crowd, too, and many Of
fers were made of five to two on the
black one," or two to one on red
socks" Bud Evans finally won the
match, having eaten eleven pies in
about fifteen minutes. He got SIS for
the job, and then started home for
supper, he said. His record is nineteen
pies, so it is possible that he really
hadn't had enough to eat.
In the cake walk there were three
couples Charles Seeman and Henry
Levy, Charles Hobart and Willie Reil
ly j. Lamel and Charles Levy. The
second one of each couple played the
part of the lady" They were gotten
up with all the elegance of attire US
ually assumed by the real thing" and
pranced, curvetted and cavorted with
true senegambian gracefulness.
The winners of the first prize were
Messrs. Seemon and Henry Levy, the
latter dressed as a girl. The second
prize was won by Messrs. Hobort and
Reilly, the latter as a girl, and the
third prize by Messrs. Charles Levy
and Willie Lamsell.
The fireworks was the last of the
attractions and then the crowd, or. that
is, the part of the crowd that remain
ed, danced until the last train left for
the city at midnight.
