by Donerail, dam by Cripple.
In the pool selling Leinster was the
favorite, by nearly two TO one, against
the field at first.
After an Intellectual attempt, start was
made, Chickasaw taking the lead, closely
followed by Leinster, the Donerail FLY
being last. This order was kept to the
quarter, where the FLY was six lengths be-
hind. The quarter was made in 26 sec.
Chickasaw, ''head and tail up" went
down the back stretch exiting" to the
half, Leinster and the Black Lock FLY
keeping their ground, but the Donerail
FLY steadily dropping; the half being
made in 51t. A rifle for the front was
made by the Black Lock filly on the three
quarter stretch, but it was no go, Chicka-
saw keeping the lead. Leinster main
tanned his relative distance to the turn and
down the mestretch-evidently under
pull. The race home was between Chicka-
saw taking the heat in 1:50t, by a half
length, and the Black Lock fiIly second,
Leinster bad third, and the Doncrail
FLY shut out.
SECOND HEAT The ''knowing ones"
began to feel ''scaly" again, and thought
that they had been drawing elephants in
their pool bids. The consequence was
great amount of ''hedging" and balance
ing.
Several Intellectual attempts were made
before start was got. Thedrum tapped
at last with Chickasaw leading length,
the Black Lock FLY next, and Leinster
bringing up the rear. At the quarter,
which was made in 81 seconds, the
Black Lock filly brushed for the front,
and midway the back stretch showed a
neck ahead of Chickasaw. At the half
(made in So seconds) the latter again raj
lied and took the lead. Here, too, Lem
ster began TO show the mcttle of his pas
ture. Near the turn he suddenly leaped
forward and passed the Black Lock FLY,
giving Chickasaw a brush on the home
stretch. Near the first distance stand he
shot forward like an arrow from bow,
and almost in one leap placed himself
neck and neck with Chickasaw, amid
cheers from the crowd. There was Wis
ible effort on the part of his jockey to
hold him back, but the gallant colt was
more honest than his rider, and having
snuffed victory, determined to achieve it.
The timber was piled to Chickasaw vigor-
ously, but to no avail, and the colt, not
withstanding the pulling of his jockey,
came under the string neck and Shout
ders ahead of Chickasaw, winning the
heat in 1922, amid cheers loud and long.
As he did so considerable commotion
was created among the spectators by one
or two persons crying ''foul." Mr.. Geo.
Cadwallader vehemently declared that
jennings (the owner of Lelnster) should
be ruled off the track, asserting that he
| (Jennings) chad tried to prevent the colt
from winning the heat, and that he Cthe
colt had done so in spite of jOckeying.
| Mr.. Cadwallader was very emphatic, as
| were other race men, and the excitement
in sporting circles was not q whit allayed
by the President calling Mr.. Jennings tC
