and r. w. Walden's chestnut colt Liverpool,
by Planet, dam Novice McGraths T0m Bowl
ing was the favorite over the field. He, how
ever, was beaten by Mr.. Belmont's FLY by neck,
ana this was occasioned solely by the bad riding Of
Tom Bowling's jockey, who, getting q bad start,
ran through the horses for quarter of mlle kept
far In front for another quarter and on the third
when half way through 1t, got in trouble and was
caught by Medora and beaten under the wire by
after getting the bad send.off and kept for burst
