RUNAWAY TEAM
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Horse Attached to Vehicles Dashes
Madly Through Jackson Place Near
Presidents New Home.

The quiet of Jackson Place. in front
of the temporary White House. was
somewhat disturbed by a runaway team
yesterday afternoon while many callers
were awaiting the President.
The street was well occupied by car
riages for some distance in each di-
rection from the Presidents new head
quarters. Showers were falling inter-
mittently and coachmen were sitting rs
much doubled up as possible to avoid the
beating rain.
Suddenly a clatter OF hoofs vas heard,
with the rumble OF wheels, as the run
away team dashed past Senator De-
pew's house and across H Street into
Jackson Place. Down the slippery as
phalt came the dashing animals, whisk-
ing perilously near several pairs of rear
wheels. as cautious coachmen deftly
drove their handsome conveyances near
er the sidewalks. losing no time in Civ
ing the runaway all the space demanded
for his flight toward Pennsylvania
Avenue.
The prompt action of a half-dezen
watchful coachmen perched up on their
boxes. saved the President the annoy
ance Of a disturbance through collisions
in front of his home, and permitted a
score OF callers to go away without de-
lay in the handsome equipages in which
they came.

up, much to the annoyance of the colt s
owner. O'Connor may have forgotten mis-
orders, or he may have thought that he
would have the mount on another horse
in the Great Trial; but in any event. 1t
would do the young man good to sus-
pend him for few days and might
possibly sharpen his memory a Bit. His

NEW YORK, June 30-The colors of
J. R. and F. P. Keene were twice car
ried to victory at Sheepshead Bay to-
day and in each instance the talent
took advantage of good prices. Port
Royal, a three-year- gelding, by
Kingston Maurice, won the handicap for
three-year- and upward at a mile,
while Hurst Park, a two-year-old colt,
by Kingston Editha, captured the Spring
Stakes at three-quarters Of mile.
The performance of Port Royal was
really the feature of the day. With
Morningside. Belle OF Troy, Kilogram,
Himself, Operator, snd Keynote with
drawn, the kingston gelding was asked
to beat four other three-year- -olds-Pre-
torius, Cunard. Francesca, and Grand
Opera.
In the betting Port Royal was to 2
favorite, with Pretorius backed down to
IS to 5. The others went up in the bet
ting. all of them opening at to 2.
The track was slow. yet as soon as the
field was sent away Port Royal took a
commanding lead and rushed along at
rattling clip. He made every post a
winning one, and crossed the line with
a couple of lengths to spare in the
good time of 1:40, Shaw casing him up
at the finish. PTetorius and CunaTd
fought it out with each other all the

Mr.. Brown talked long and interest

step and why he gave it up so soon.
"You see. 1t was this way" he said.
