spread ont as they ran around the upper turn that
there were at least two hundred yards Of space be-
tween Cadence and Arizona There was no change
of position down the backstretch, around the lower
turn, or up the homestretch, and they passed the
stand at the completion OF the second mile In the
same way that they did on the first only a little
closer together. They closed up considerably going
around the upper turn and down the backstretch,
particularly as King Henry was working close up to
Defender and Cadence. AS they passed the half-mie
pole Cadence led by head, Defender second two
lengths in front Of Frank Hampton, Gao NTH,

at the three-quarter pole Cadence second, one

retired by rule. Frank Hampton was still favorite

turn head and head. Going around to the quarter
pole King Henry led one length, which he cOntin-
ued to do down the back stretch, opening the gap
at the half-mile pole and around the lover turn,
and he passed under the wire at the end of the first
mile two lengths and halr in front. He kept the
gap open throughout the second mile and passed
the stand four lengths In front Of Frank Hampton
King Henry now had his ears laid back and
victory. Frank Hampton was doing his best, but it
was evident to old turfmen that he could not over
take the Lexington. Another mile was run through,
and Frank Hampton was five lengths behind as
they passed under the wire and entered the fourth
mile. As King Henry went around the turn he
was being forced, and the more he was forced the
more he straddled: Henry opened the daylight to
the quarter pole, and on the backstretch
the race. AT the half-mie pole he was ten lengths
ahead and at the threequarter pole twenty lengths

and King Henry won the race by forty yards. The
time OF the thlrd heat was s:Ook, time that has
seldom been made on q good track; but when it ia
taken into consideration that the race run this
time in rain, on heavy track, the run will bear
favorable comparison with almost any that ever
took place.
King Henry, the winner of the race has check
cred career. He was unsuccessful as two and
three-year-old and his owner Mr.. Sanford, had
him broken to harness and drove him to a carriage
as one OF team. Mr. Sanford gave King Henry
away to Mr.. Mccormack at the second summer
meeting at Monmouth Park, and the day after Nc
COrmack entered him in handicap race and won 1t.
King Henry ran at Saratoga, but speed was not his
fort with his weight for age up; but the opportu-
nifty Offering for four mile heats Mccormack was
too anxious to test the blood OF his horse with any
other In the land for endurance. The result proved
that the stout blood OF Lexington, with that OF
Yorkshire, Is as stanch cross as can be made.
There will be no more racing at Monmouth Park
until 1879
