will include the coaching parade as
the opening number. There are four
four-in- hands entered In this class, one
by r. l.. Jersey, local exhibitor. The
high school horses, eight in number,
will be Judged at 1880 o'clock. Fol-
lowing them will come the single road
sters, trotters, many of which come
from st. Paul. There are twenty-four
horses entered in this class, the larg-
outdoor exhibition.
Pretty Show Promised.
The park pair in harness exhibition
will come next. This should be one of
the prettiest shows of the day for the
reason that the appointments viii count
for fifty points. They will be absolute
ly correct in every detail and perfect
model for gentleman horse owners
equipment Nine pairs are entered in
this contest, and many OF them have
won prizes and ribbons elsewhere. The
exhibition of gated saddle horses also
promises to be attractive, with eleven
entries to make the contest most spir-
tied. Some of these are famous sad
dlerS that have been admired on the
boulevards for their grace and beauty.
The ladies' special contest, which Is
scheduled for 4:S0 O'clock, has drawn
class OF nineteen entries. Appoint
ments will be "a strong feature Of this
portion of the show and will count
40 per cent in the scoring. A most
attractive list OF eleven tandems has
been secured, and it is anticipated that
the judges will have a difficult task
in picking the winner. Some splendid
horses are entered and they will be
attached to stylish vehicles with hand
some livery and harness.

fun continues for ten minutes.
Jumping Class Large.
The Jumping class will include field
of eight horses. They wilr be exhibited
in performances over fences, and the
individuality and soundness of the con-
testant will count so per cent. This
will close the exhibition for the initial
day. Each days programme will be
equally attractive, and after the formal
opening day daily racing events will be
racing on the fair ground track.
Three harness events are scheduled
for each Of the four days racing. Tues
day, which Is the opening Of the rae
ing, has been designated as Derby day,
when the great trotting Derby, two
mile dash, will be decided. This is to
be made a feature of the first days
racing, and a purse of $1,000 has been
hung up to stimulate rivalry.
Horses Now at Hamline.
More than 100 horses are now in the
Hamltne barns awaiting the finishing
touches before the final trials begin.
Some Of them have done wonderful
work In the preliminary training, while
others have won in hard campaign
around the Western circuit. The condi-
tons are ripe for record breaking, and
the purses. aggregating $4,000. are
sufficiently tempting to call out the
best energies Of the horses and their
drivers.
The final touches will be put on the
grand stand tomorrow morning, just
before the opening of the show, and
everything will then be in readiness.
The boxes will be draped attractively
with red and white, the horse show
colors, and bunting will be displayed
about the edges of the stand and show
ring. The ring will be covered with a
heavy coating of loan, precluding the
tors.

BLOODY RIOT AT
LA CROSSE, WIS.
Into Use by fractional
Mob.

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 5.-Growing
out Of quarrel over the possession Of
tin cup at street drinking fountain
on the North side, riot was precipi-
tated at a late hour tonight which, iIf
point of numbers involved and intensi-
ty of excitement, surpassed anything
Of the kind ever seen in this city.
The battle was between the Assyri-
an colony Of the North side and sew
eral hundred railroad men and others.
About 800 of the 500 Assyrians OF
the colony were engaged. The fight
lasted for an hour. Several shots were
fired, but most OF the battle was fought
with clubs. Knives also came into
play. None of the bullets took effect,
but one man was stabbed several
times and several were badly beaten.
The known injured: Hans Rohrer,
beaten with clubs; John Murphy, stab
bed in the face; Abe Lockman, beaten
about head and face; Louis Wachter,
struck over the head with club; three
Assyrians. unknown, injured in vari-
Gus ways.

LOTT LOOMS UP FOR SHERIFF.
Commissioners Attitude Forecasts
Trouble for Justus.

Commissioners Attitude Forecasts
Trouble for Justus.
The candidacy of County Commits
sioner e. B. Lott for Republican nom
nation to the shrievalty will not down,
despite the strenuous arguments of
the Justus people that Justus will have
no opposition for the nomination and
will be elected to a second term, hands
down.
Lott, as matter of course, says he
Is doing nothing to secure the nomfna-
ton and that he is not posing as a
candidate. He is not posing as a candi-
date and he Is probably doing nothing
directly towards securing the nomina-
ton, but his friends and the disgruntled
Republicans who have scores against
Justus to pay off are doing something,
and their efforts are beginning to take
definite shape.
The first open Endorsement Of Let's
candidacy was trotted on the carpet
Friday when the Bohemians of the
Fifth ward named the county commits
sioner as their choice for the good job.
More Endorsements are scheduled to ar
rive in time to make trouble.
Justus' troubles started before he
was elected two years ago, and while
the Ratchet was put out of sight after
he was settled in Office, 1t was never
buried. The first note of trouble after
the election was sounded by the Nlntn
ward Republican organization.
The Ninth ward workers turned in
at critical moment and did Mr.. Jus
tus a lot of good. In return for their
excellent work they were to receive
two good appointments In the sheriff $
office. Later the two good appoint
ments dwindled down to two minor
jobs and ultimately, when the official
force was about to The named, the
Ninth ward apportionment suffered an
other shrinkage, and the workers were
told they could have one job worth
$500 per year. Mr.Justus was promptly
| informed that he could take his Job
to torrid zone and the Ninth warders
went away vowing vengeance.
The First ward did not get what 1t
believed it was entitled to, and when
the appointment was made the wrong
man for the right crowd was selected.
| The Third and Fourth wards were
both on the spot with grievances, and
| collectively Justus was voted a "piker''
who wanted all the goods OF the Office
| himself. The workers figure that the
shrievalty Is about the softeet thing In
| the gift Of the county and that the
| official head can afford to make good
with his deputies and still be a long
| winner.

cations Endorsed his candidacy and

Out Of a Field Of Seven the Speedy
Racer Wins Great Western
Handicap.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Great Western
handicap over the Derby route, for the
season of 1902, is now matter Of record,
with Sfxshooter's name tabled among the
winners OF the event. Backed from to
to a shade better than even at WASH
tngton Park today, Sixshoeter took COM
mand about a sixteenth from home and
won by one and half lengths, with Fly
ing Torpedo and Nitrate in the money
behind him. The race was truly run, the
only interference, which did not change
the result, was Flying Torpedo humping
into SiXshooter at the head OF the
stretch and his cutting across Nitrate
near the in1eld gate
Dyer sent the field of seven away to
a splendid start. Hunter Rains showed
first, but Little Scout, with Hegelson up,
moved in front Immediately, but his lead
was short lived, as Matthews set the pace
with Flying Torpedo. While Flying Tor
pedo, Nitrate and Hermencia were bat
Ting for supremacy, Sixshooter was con-
tent to line in front Of Vincitor who, early
in the race, was beaten off. At the head
of the stretch Knight made his move,
and at that point the race was on in ear
nest, and at the infield gate it was all
over but the shouting. Meade lodged a
complaint of foul with the judges which
was not allowed. Weather clear; track
