TROTTING RACE
WAS CALLED OFF
BUT THE CROWD WAS ANS
BY AN INTERESTING
RUNNING RACE.

! The trotting race scheduled to
occur on ST. Simon yesterday after
noon between horses owned by G. c.
Calif and c. W. Deem, was called off
and quite a large crowd who had
gone down to the island to witness
it were disappointed.
There was considerable wrangHng
between the owners and drivers from
1870 in the afternoon until about 3
o'clock when the race was finally
declared off 1t seems that the Deem
people were OF the opinion that the
race was to come off at 1870 on the
low tide, while CaHm hackers wanted
to wait until o'clock. Finally, just
before 3. both horses appeared on the
beach ready for the race. The Deem
horse it seems, which was to have
been driven by S. d. Lamb gave a
.nttle horse show performance which
.resulred IN the breaking up OF the
sullly to which he was attached, and
consequently the race was called off.
1t is not known whether or not The
race will occur later but the stake
money is still up.
The running race between the
horses of Horace Symons and Alex
Higginbotham was pulled off sue
ccssfuny The Higginbotham horse
proved the winner coming out ahead
