 THE BIG FREE FOR ALL.
 During the ball game time was called to run the big free-for-all g. mile race. There were three horses entered in this event and owing to the prominence of the horses through their owners and that .ac- quired in trial races much was ex- pected. In addition to the $50 first money and $50 second large amounts had been wagered by the owners and others on the outcome.
 The horses were Andrew Miller's Little Supai" mare, ridden by w. w. Goode; NJ. T. Piper's Butter milk" ridden by A. Hanson and c. B. Holloway's "Willie C." a sorrel, ridden by Bob Postle.
 Harry c. Hibben, Dr. P. A. Mel ick and J. H. Hudson were selected as Judges and the race called on. The horses were gotten up to the starting point and after feint or two started, apparently all together. In a moment it was seen that evil lie c" had been left at the post but Little Supai" and "Buttermilk" were going past the stand. They continued round the track and fin ished as named, the first winning by a good margin. Immediately there was a howl, and crooked work proclaimed. The judges called in the starters and it there developed that Ed Liberty and Chas. Wade had been selected as official start CTS and that they had been accom- panied by Tom Wagner at the re- quest of MT. Holloway, through a misunderstanding, so he says. Wade and Liberty dropped their flags, being satisfied with the start, but Wagner called "come back" Postle on "Willie c" obeyed, and was thus left at the post. Then the howl grew bigger and as there was much money up the judges declared it race, giving Little Supia" first money, "Buttermilk" second, and declaring off all bets on "Willie O." and the howl grew larger. In fact many of the men who had their money mp would not stand for the decision and their money is still tied up, while others accepted it and drew down their money.
 The judges gave as their reason for calling bets off on "Willie c" that we are all neighbors and it would not look just right tc take a mans money when the horse did not run in the race. The commit tee, of course, could not go back of the judges decision, but we desire to say as one of the committee that it is our opinion, and we guess the rule on all race courses, that horse left at the post is classed as though he had run, and the money goes accordingly. Plainly the official starters were satisfied and no jockey should pay attention to anything said and done by anyone else. When a man bets on a race he nat ] urally expects to win-or lose, and the fact that horse may be left at
