Field at Highland Park.

DETROIT, July 7.-Autolight to-day
scored his third successive victory at the
Highland Park meeting by beating a good

rode Provost, lost control of his mount at
the sixth jump and the horse bolted
through the wing, unseating McGovern and

driving carriage in Baltimore for ten
years Tom became restless and started for
the then little known West.
He drove for a livery stable for two or
