The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-12

Notwithstanding that in the original
plans for the horse show no advance
arrangements had been made for yes
terday, and the continuation of the
show feature of the meeting was not
agreed upon until late on the previous
day, and excellent exhibition pro-
gramme was presented and the specta-
tors were frequently moved to enthu-
siastic appreciation of the various
events. The attendance, while perhaps
not quite so large as that of Wednes-
day or Thursday, was good. On the
speed track the race enthusiasts were
treated to three good events and much
interest was shown in this branch of
the entertainment.
Exciting Runaway.
A diversion of a serious nature was
furnished by runaway among the
equipages in the field inside the race
track in which DR.. j, G. Mcnamara
and his daughter, Miss Ethel, narrow
ly escaped serious injGry. This inner
field in the vicinity of the timers stand
was crowded with carriages of various.
kinds, most of which were filled with
people, when the horse which DR.. Me
Namara was driving to a runabout in
which his daughter accompanied him,
started to run toward the ,quarter-m
post. The doctor eXertedy himself to
check the horse, but he was beyond
control and dragged the light carriage
over the rough ground for some dis
lance. Either the doctor guided the
horse toward the rail of the track in
the hope of checking him.. or the ami
NAL took that course of. his own ac-
cord. He jumped the fence, thus free
ing himself from the vehicle and
throwing it's occupants to the ground.
Then the horse continued around the
half-mile track and completed the cir
cult, stopping almost at the starting
point. Both of the occupants of the
vehicle were bruised by their fall, but
neither was seriously injured. r-@'

Cross Country Race.
A novel and highly exciting event of
the day was a croSS-country hurdle
race for gentlemen riders, in which
Walter Hill rode hroncho, which he
calls Chinaman: Fred LARAMIE, Mr..
Palmer's Anthracite; Napier McGill,
Mr.. Palmer's Timber Topper, and Fred
Bork, 1lr. Ashbrook's White Wings.
The course was across the field inside
the race track and back, with five
jumps, including fences, and down the
home stretch of the track to the wire.
First place was given to Mr.. McGi1l,
second to Mr.. Hill, and third to Mr..
Bork. In this race Mr.. Laramee, while
we'll in the lead, lost one Stirrup and
was dismounted at the second jump,
but he gamely continued, and at the
last jump from the field to the track he
broke the troublesome Stfrrup and got
a second fall. He escaped serious in
jury however, and was able to do
good service in the potato race later.
The participants in the potato race
were the four riders in the hurdle race,
with the addition of r. G. Plat, of
New York, who was entirely new at
the game, and furnished much amuse-
ment for the older hands, and, Incl
dentally, for, the spectators as we'll
First prize went to Mr. McGill, second
to Mr.. Bork, and third to Mr.. Hill.

and of the meeting was a competition
for the sporting tandem class, in which
Napier, McGill, with Mr.. Palmer's Tim
Der Topper and Mr.. Hills Blue Bell
won first; Mr.. Bork, with Mr.. Ash
brooks White Wings and Hunyani
second, and Fred Laramee, with Peter
Cooper and Muggins, third.
Races Close and Fast.
On the race track the sport was
highly exciting throughout the after
noon. One special race, which had
been arranged between Random, owned
by L. f. Phelps, of Long Prairie, and
Gonoval, owned by L. L. Kinney, could
not be run, owing to the fact that one
of the horses while being worked out
suffered severe cut and was in that
manner disabled. There were, however
three other races on the programme
and all of them afforded good enter
tainment. The second heat of the first
race, for PAGERS of the 1922 class, was
particularly exciting and when Angus
Oh SO passed Uncle John within thirty
feet of the wire and landed first by a
head, the crowd sent UP mighty shout
of enthusiastic applause. Angus had
won the first heat, and in the second
had been we'll placed throughout but
until the wire was. ALMOST reachtd
the lead was held bySJIncIe John, and
tuere Was every promise OF third
heat until Angus, well driven by Dom
phier, made his heart disease finish
and 50 decided the race.
Art0ls, Who won the Derby on Tues
day, was the winner of the 2:2S class
trot, taking it in straight heats. The
third race went to Don Juan in straight
heats.
