and Motor Cycles at Ham
line Track.
Horse Show Closes With an Attrac
tive Program Success Every
Way, but Financially.

Fast automobile and motor cycle races,
clever exhibitions of broncho- busting and
eight events in the exhibition department,
marked the closing day of the horse show
OF the Minneapolis Riding and Driving
club at Hamline yesterday afternoon. The
races We're the best seen during the week
in regard to the time made. and a new
track record was established for auto
mobiles for five miles, H. D. Savage on
a Peerless machine, entered by E. H.
Mouton Jr., making the distance in eight
minutes. The previous record was eight
minutes three seconds, made by Savage
this week.

NILSSON took the lead as soon as his
machine got under way. and had every
body except Stromquist beaten from the
start. Stromquist challenged the skating
champion at the quarter pole on the first
mile mile but Nilsson simply let out another
link and ran away. At the end of the
mile Stromquist was 100 yards behind,
with the bunch trailing far back. Nils
son rapidly increased this distance until
the fifth mile, when his machine lost it's
spark and Stromquist pulled up rapidly.
Just as he was overhauling Nilsson, how
ever, the latter got his motor working
again and finished first by a good mar
gin, his time for the five miles being 8
minutes. 5 seconds. But for the accident
the time would have been we'll under s
minutes. Stromquist was second, in 1908;
Rogers third, in 9:22,s and Burtscner
fourth. in 1858. The time by miles fol-

The broncho-busting exhibition was
quite interesting, and the riders showed
great skill, not one being thrown. The
feat Of two men riding a broncho at the
same time was a feature.
