THE FEATHER STAKE RACE
The event OF the day, and indeed OF the spring
meeting. was the fOur-mile race entrance $50 and
club purse $1,000, which closed the programme.
The books closed with fourteen entrances but OF
these five only appeared to dispute the question Of
speed and endurance on q four-mie stretch. These
were Aldabaran, ridden by Browne; Local, by Hen
messy; Feetwing, by Gilmartin; onward, by Swain,
and Privateer, by Charles Miller.
Aldebaran was the favorite We heard an excited
individual offer fifty to ten on this horse and over

round figures. The knowing ones were par

they were in that OF Local. but the winner was rarely

and his betting book at one and the same moment,
those who had risked their money calmly folded

their smelling bottles to their noses and became as

In the midst of this expectation-in the crisis OF
this universal silence-the steeds ranged before

To say that this was brilliantly and persistently
contested race speak mildly Words cannot when
hurledy written graphically portray the interest the
thousands present seemed to take in the pending
luton of the questions OF speed and endurance.
