ed horse described as sorrel, but SO
dark that any but an expert would call
him brown. He went through his

exhibition of five distinct gaits and
Jack Diamonds had them all and then
one or two. He walked, cantered, trot-

third. Prince Noir, a very handsome
bay of Mclaughlin Bros stable, OF
this city, made fine appearance, but
on account OF his weight and evident
coach horse qualification, was not
placed.
Then followed the comedy feature of
the entertainment - potato race.
The riders of the spry little po-
MES in this race seemed to have
royal time racing from the po-
tato box att one end of the arena
to the other, where the potato was de-
posted in another box-if the rider
was fortunate enough to escape the
other entries. It was the object of the
riders to get as many potatoes into the
box as possible and equally to prevent
the other fellow from doing So F. L.
Tarbox, of Kansas City, was declared
the winner, with Fred J. Bork second
and Walter HILL Of ST. Paul, third

sporting tandems. Only three accepted
the issue, and the Pepper entry, My
opia and mate, won easily, with Grow
and Murray's Montrose and Cloth of
Gold: second, and San Toy and mate.

New York, third
Myopia behaved very well under the
direction of Peppers very competent
driver, and when the conditions of the
event called for him to diSmount from
the box and drop the traces he. was so
quick that he had a clear field to the
high barred jump. He went over the
obstruction like a bird. Montrose
Knocked the bar down in his effort and
with San Toy had to try it again.
