 FREE FOR ALL RACE.
 As on the day previous the ball game was stopped to allow the big ree-for-all race to be run. Only two horses had been entered and the race was called of. New en. tries were then made and the race changed to a a-dash instead of three heats, "Buttermilk," "Willie C. and Little Supai" again being be- fore the audience. All kinds of Lets were offered and made, Miller money being most in evidence at 2 and to against the field. Sta ley, Ramsdale and Walsh acted as judges, while Joe Spitz and Cab Wolf were starters. About half an hour was spent in trying to get the horses off, during which Butter. milk" went bad and began rearing; falling over backward and nearly catching the rider. At last, how ever, to the relief of all, they were off, and it was a splendid start and race. "Supai" took the lead after the first few jumps and kept it all the way, finishing two lengths ahead of "Willie C." who was about the same distance ahead of Butter milk" After the fluke the day be. fore there were those who said Willie c" could not run at all, but he was there with the goods for second money, the purses being $6O and $25.

Of course there are ''sore" people over the races, but where was there ever race run when people did not get "sore?" Every town along the line had representatives here.
