Ia tbs pools GiIroy YVES the fsvorite,
selling twenty-five to eight on the Queen,
and four on Vi0ls.
In the draw Queen of the West got
the pole, Gilroy second and Viola out
side.
At the send off Gllroy took the lssd,
having the advantage Of Queen about a
neck, which was, however, lost before
the quarter was reached, and the Queen
had pulled forward about q length.
Viola maintaining her position to GilrOy,
Of q length behind. From the quarter
to the half GilTOy again made q bold
dash for the lead anG took it away from
the Queen after s sharp but short strug
gle, aud at the third quarter put two
lengths between them. The turn was
thus made, Gilroy leading under a strong
pull, the Q1sen following doing her best,
and Viola q dozen lengths or so behind,
having apparently no hope or 'ambitioL
to win. Down tbe home stretch and I'M
der the string it was the ssme way, Gil
roy winning the heat by eight TO ten
lengths, with&hs greatest apparent ease.

and it was impossible TO tell what the
odds really were on GilrOy against the
field. But pools sold all the way from
six to twelve and even fifteen to one OF
Gilroy against the field, with few takers,
the Queen selling two to on Viola.
A splendid start was made after one or {
two attempts, GilrOy getting the lead 8
little, as he always does, for hejs as much
OF 8 Jockey rs his rider, aud that is say :
ing a good deal. at the quarter GilrOy :
led by a length, Viola being second, ana :
making tho quarter in IS. Down the :
back stretch GilrOy doubles the daylight =
between him aud Viola, the Queen also :
drawing ahead and brushing Viola FOR y
the precedence. After q squirt of 40 or 50 :
yards, however, she found it no use, ana 4
