Battle the other day, when Battle threw
his rider at the start, and yet by an in
stinct that challenged sdmirstion, made
the race without a rider and passed under
the string first. He was ruled out then
because he carried no weight, contrary to
the unprecedented decision of the specta-
tors. On Friday he won the race easily
in two straight heats. He makes mag
nificent appearance on the track; 1.-THE
and long and high; trained to the mini
mum of weight and the maximum of
muscle; CLASSY coat revealing his sinewy
frame; spurning the earth with spring
ing step, he looked an easy winner over
his competitors. Before the first heat he
sold in pools largely in advance of Biddy
Malone.

Biddy Malone second, and Battle third.
At the quarter Joe was still in advance,
but Battle had drawn up alongside the

but before the turn was reached it was
neck and neck for all three. Joe then
fell two lengths behind, and the mare and
Battle swung into the home stretch neck
and neck. The struggle was sharp for
but moment, and then Battle fairly out
flanked the game mare and dashed passed
the judges stand, an easy winner of the
heat in I:45. Biddy was second by three
lengths, and Joe tOlerable third.
SECOND HEAT-Batiie got off first, Joe
second and the mare last At the quarter
it was Battle two and Biddy three, Joe
bursting to the front So it continued
until the three-quarter post was reached,
when Battle was called upon and came
into the home stretch leader and evident
winner, Aiken maintaining his lead of the
mare all the way to the string and passing
second, the winner five lengths in advance
and Biddy nearly as much behind. Time,
