horses in the race won by the heavily
backed Wadsworth's Last, the defeat OF
Botheration, another heavily supported

waged by the Kentucky delegation
against the oralizers were some of the
features that enlivened the crowd at the
Fair Grounds to-day.

large attendance witnessed the wierd

after he had led the field to the half
mile ground. Rather than send Bother
alton into the lead there, Roberts caused
the free running colt to change stride.
and when White Star finally wavered in
the stretch run Botheration was per-
mitted to swerve repeatedly, so that
Fantoche, whose rider had wisely avoid

abled to stage a smart rush that earned
victory by a half length. Botheration
