Finish

st. Paul, Feb. 3-Albert Catnp-
bell, Cree half breed from the
Hudson Bav district, won the
longest dog race of history to day.
while Fred Hartman. the popular
favorite, finished last in the field of
the five competitors who completed
the course and collapsed as he cross
ed the line mere early this evening.
Wild acclaim greeted Hartman
when long after dusk he staggered
III front of the judges stand at Lake
como. Thousands Of persons had
gathered at the finish line at noou
and many of them remained after
the first four had reached it Off
cially. Albert Campbell was declar-
ed the winner, crossing the line,
ten days, almost to the minute,
after he had been sent away 1t
Winnipeg. Next in order came
Bill Grayson. Joe Metcalf and Ca
briel Campbell the last named a
brother of the winner.
The final dash from Elk River
today was dramatic. The four
Hudson Bay drivers had arranged
to stake everything on tue fiual
drive and purposed resting at Elk
River. There Hartman was stay
ing also, but his attempt to slip
away from his rivals was frustrat-
ed when someone, said to have
been employ ed to watch him, In
formed the other four Of his move
ments, and they were routed out
Of their beds. They reached Anoks
ahead Of him and were never head-
ed
Hartman crumbled up IS be
ploded over the ice Of Lake Como.
Willing hands gathered .himp up
and he was rushed in an autOmo.
bile to the residence Of Louis W.
Hill. president of the ST. Paul
carnival association, which staged
the race.
Hartman Boston chemist, en-
ployed as assayer in Manitoba,
will profit from his arduous expert
ence, Notwithstanding his failure
to win. Purses aggregating more
than 81 900 have been made up for
him. A first prize of $500 cash
and number of other prizes go to
Albert Campbell.
In all eleven teams started. One
by one they were eliminated by the
severe cold weather, the heavy
snow and the fierceness of the com.
petition.
AS originally mapped out the
course followed the old Pembina
trail 522 miles from Winnipeg up
the Red River to St. Paul. A cut
off followed by the racers reduced
the distance to 5O9. S miles.
