Molly jackson won the halfmile dash
time STA.
In the half-mile dash Tom Bowling was
second and AsterOid third. With fine
weather and the track in splendid eOndi-
flon, the attendance even surpassed the ex-
pectations formed and was simply inn
meDse. Both regular and extra boats to
Sandy Hook were crowded to suhOcaton,
and on the cars from the Hook to Mon
mouth Park the platforms, and even the
roofs, had their occupants.
Most Of the prominent sporting men of
the country we're present, and the fair sex
was also well represented
But little difficulty was experienced in
a start, and the horses got away
together, Bassett having the inside track.
For the first half mile they ran head to !
head, the only advantage, if any, being in |
favor Of Bassett. As the horses warming |
into their stride, passed the grand stand, |
the excitement rose to fever heat. The |
first mile and half found their positions |
unchanged, but the hackers Of Bassett sud |
denly had misgivings, as their favOrite was |
doing his best, while Longfellow was still /
being held by his rider.
Their fears we're confirmed when the |
horses swept past the grand stand the sec
ond time. LOngfellOw's rider then gave /
head TO his horse, who gallantly responded, |
and quickly placed two lengths between
himself and BassetU The scene was indie
seribable. Men threw their hats in the air
and cheered wildly, while the ladies waved
their handkerChiefs and bet countless pairs
of gloves on John Harpers steed. From
this moment II was evident that it was all
up with Bassett and although his rider
used whip and spur without stint, it was Of
no avail. Every moment Longfellow in
creased his lead, and landed an easy win
ner in 4;34, or, as some of the judges claim,
1913, Bassett beaten over a dozen lengths.
The enthusiasm of the Western men pres
snt was unbOunGed. They crowded around
John Harper, cheering and congratulating
The old man, who also seemed labOring I'M
der great emotions. Immense sums were
lost on the race by New Workers. John
1Orrissey is among the heavy losers.
