This was tho rider whose horso was so badly used up at DeKalb that it lookea as though he would nmever finish the race, Itscems by some magic known only to the cowboy fratornity tho animal limbered up and ar- rived at the end of his journey in such con- dition as to obtain a clean bill of health from the ofticers of the humane society. It was not the first time Pote was in Chi- cago, and after registoring at the cowboy rendezvous, he proceeded down town to take in the sights of Clark street. e said to all his inquiring friends that his trip was a ®ood one and that his horse, General Grant, was in good condition. His temperature ‘was 100 and his pulse forty-two when he ar- The horse is 11 years old, and con- sidering the fact that he was ridden all the way, he has pulled out much better than w d of him. He was ridden from Ness City, Kan, to Chadron, a distance of 600 miles, before startiog in the race. He is a full blooded broncho, being a captured Kan- sas wild horso, Pete is very proua of him, and keeping in mind the celerity with which he recovered from his sickness, ho has great faith 1n his recuverative powers. Boom-de-Aye Brought Up the Rear. The last horse to_arrive—Boom-de-Aye, & bay gelding broncho of the Spanish-Amerl: can type—reached the Wild West at 10:55 a.m. Tt was ridden by Joo Campbell the ontiro distance of 1,042 miles and_arrived in splondid condition, vonsidering the magnifi- cent effort made in covering so great o dis- tancen soshort a time. This horso has more tully proved the true valueof tho western horse for endurance and staying qualities than is apparent in any of the other horses in this great race. On’ arrival his temperature was 103 and pulse 48. The ground of protest taken again was that he had been over tho roa and had drawn a map. Further, that the TOUte Was given to Lwo nawspabers tw before the race, and that Berry d know he was barred until ho had arriv Long Pino, Nevo., 194 miles from Chadron. No ecvidonce wils presented to show that Berry did not come in according to the rules of the ruce. The trouble now is the decision regarding the other riders, which will b s committee at Cha say the race was not ridd Colonel Cody was determined to in the matter and see that the priz awarded to the proper persons. 1t is believed that there w oris of the boys to 0, ° Middleton is the one that all would have liked to have had win, but when his horse failed thero was a scramble among the rost. There is some talk of making a pool and dividing the money. Tho modest John Berry has a_pocket full of leuters from young women in Chicago who are anxious to make his acquaintance. But John is already a benodict, and so there is small chance for the fair suitors. Humnne Socicties Satistied. Paul Fontaine, secretary of the Lilinois Humano socioty, and W. G. Tatro, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, followed the race all the way through and report it was conducted in every way satisfactory to the socicties. The sion has been carried on over the condition of the animals from start to finish, and the wonderful task accom- plished by them is, if anything, a_tribute to the beneficial results of such attention by the association as well as a testimonial to the discretion of the riders and the previous suggestions of Messrs. Codyand Salisbury to the contestants.” Fred Chaffee, . V. S., and Fred Asle, D V. 8., examined the horses on_their arrival and reported them in fine condition.
