CHICAGO, Aug. S1.-The amateur drivers
gold challenge cup, which was won last
year by the Cleveland Aerolte, owned by
II. NJ. Hanna. was this afternoon captured
by S. A. Pickering of Pittsburg with the
grey gelding Dr. Strong in two straight
heats. There were four entries: Prince
of orange. c. X. G. Billings. Cleveland;
Aerolite, II. M. Hanna, Cleveland, driven
by Harry Devereaux of Cleveland: Tom
Axworthy, f. G. Jones, Chicago, and DR..
Strong, entered by S. A. Pickering of Pitts
burg and driven by Gallery of PittsburE
The first heat was a hard fight for three
quarters of a mile between Prince OF
Orange and Aerolite, with DR.. Strong trail
ing and Tom Axworthy so far in the rear
as to be of no consequence. At the head
Of the stretch Dr. Strong came up on the
outside and In a hard drive to the wire
won by a length In 2:O92s In the second
heat DR.. Strong led all of the way, closely
pressed by Tom Axworthy and Prince of
Orange. Neither of them was able to get
closer than length, and in a see-saw
finish Tom Axworthy beat Prince of
Orange by head for second place. Tom
Axworthy was very lame and but for this
he might have been a much stronger con-
tender for first honors.
Major Delmar, driven by c. X. G. Billings
his owner, went two miles against the track
wagon record OF 300, finishing in 2:06Sk and
2:O5M.
