THE RACE
Susan Ann cut out the work at the start, Alroy
second, Preakness third Preakness, however,
meant to have good thing at the beginning, and
upper turn, and he led one length and half at the
quarter pole, Alroy second, one length ahead OF
Susan Ann. Going down the backstretch Susan
Ann and Preakness were head and head, one length
in front OF the mare At the three-quartcr pole the
leaders were three lengths in front Of Susan Ann,
passed under the string at tho stand Alroy was q
neck In front, Preakness second, two lengths
ahead or Susan. The latter then moved up
and took sides with AlrOy, Preakness having just
at that moment cut loose and moved to the front
as he passed the Club House. lie was not allowed

Susan Ann alter him with determination, and at
the quarter pole showed IN front by two lengths. 1t
was evident at this moment that the mare had

would win the race. few offers were taken at
the moment, but when II was discovered that Hay
wood was forcing and nursing Preakness no more
money could be invested on the mare. As she
passed the stand at the completion OF the
second mile, five lengths In front OF PreaIness, the
two miles having been run In capital time-thc first
mile being done In :49la and the second in 1:51H
making 3:41 for the two miles-the cry was $3.50 on
the mare, but Done responded. 1t was defeat.
susan Ann kept on at q fine racing pace, half
dozen lengths in front Of Preakness, who was strug

miles In 5:s3ls, which is most capital time under
