Veteran Driver Plans Unique Form Of
Speed Exhibitions in Which Hand
some Young Women Will Show
Their Skill as Drivers.

When the Minnesota State Fair short
stop circuit, organized a few weeks ago,
holds its races in the fall, it is very
probable that "Hank' Lomis, one of
of the most widely known horsemen in
the northwest and the oldest driver in
Minnesota, will furnish novel amuse-
ment feature. He has conceived the
idea Of giving exhibition pacing races
with female drivers, and so confident is
he that the unique events will prove
popular, that he is arranging to invest
a considerable sum Of money in racing
buggies and other things that will be
needed before his horses can start.
There is no more enthusiastic race
course follower anywhere than
"Hank,'' but he argues that even the
fastest harness match does not appeal
to all the people. State and county
fair patrons, however, are always look
ing for novelty and he believes that a
fair that could advertise speed contests
between highly-trained horses driven by

feature.
Some little preliminary expense would
be entailed in preparing for the sea-
SON. It would be necessary for him
to have four racing sulkies built to
order, he would have to pay salaries
to his fair drivers, and, in addition,
meet the cost Of maintaining a train
ing stable for two or three months
before the date Of the first fair. De-
spite this, however, he thinks it would
be possible to put on the feature for a
nominal sum, for all Of his horses would
be in good condition and he could rea-
sonably expect some revenue from their
winnings in the regular races.
The originator Of the scheme has the
greatest faith in its value as a draw.

that he expresses willingness to &C,

each fair in payment. If this particu

Chess Play Ends in Tie.

New York, March 24.-The fifth
cable chess match for the Rice trophy,
competed for by teams representing
Oxford and Cambridge colleges of Eng
land, and Corntll, Pennsylvania and
Brown universities, which was played
today, resulted in draw, each team
scoring three points. Oxford and Cam
bridge accordingly retain the trophy.
The match began at 8 O'Clock this
morning, and time was called at G
o'clock this evening. All but two
games had been completed at that time
w. E. Napier, the referee, called one
of these games draw and gave the
other to the American contestants.

he would permit them to deduct sim

Is Veteran THURMAN.
"Hank" Lomis has been connected
with the light-harness game ever since
it was introduced in the northwest.
When "Billy" King gave the first au-
thorized race meet on the old course in
Minneapolis, the first track ever built
in Minnesota, Lomis was one of the
drivers, and few years later he raised
the funds for the track in this city,
which is the oldest in this part of the
state. He and his partner, "Hi'
Adams, became trainers of note, send
ing winners onto all the leading tracks
of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and
for more than half century he has
| piloted his own entries.

attractive young ladies would vastly
increase it's attendance. f..
The one requisite for the success of
his undertaking is that he be given
proper encouragement by the circuit
officials, for he does not anticipate the
slightest difficulty in securing young
women who will be willing to handle
the reins over his horses. 49,. r.. ~
Two of Mr.. Lomis' nieces are ex-
pert horsewomen and they have agreed
to find two other girls to drive against
them. "Hank" is now the owner of
three animals, Jimmy Mcintyre, Stan
ley B. and Lady L., all Of whom can do
the mile in better than 2:25, but he
would guarantee four entries and buy
another PAGER having mark equally as
good.
In discussing his plan, the veteran
says that he would issue instructions to
all the girls to drive to win, and that
the contracts he would sign would stip-
ulate that his exhibition consist of the
best three out of five heats. More than
that, he would always be willing to
