 Minutes.

The trial for speed on a s1oo a side wager made by Alec Mcdonald and John Lyons that the horse of the former could make the distance between the city hall in ths city anu scots Waverly inn at Cheshire was held this morning The horse set out from this city at o'clock to cover the distance which is held to be fourteen miles and which according to the wager must be covered in seventy minutes or at the average speed of a mile in five minutes. Mir. Mcdonald announced late last night that his horse was in shape for the trial and that he would start this morning.
 Previous to the trip an auto containing John Lyons, Bernard McQueeney, As sistant City Clerk Michael Moran, Col. James Caffery and William Moran, the Dixwell avenue merchant, went out to anticipate the trip. Tho timers and sev- eral others went out in the big auto mobile of II. F.
