$1,000, three miles. Wanderer, Harry
Bassett, and Hubbard started. Basseft
and Hubbard were the favorites at odds
OF about two to one. Hubbard won.
Wanderer second. Time, 5:34.
The chief interest in the races was in
the tnree-mile race, in which Harry
Bassett and Wanderer again met. The
Mcdaniel entry was the favorite: Wan
derer, however, found many hackers.
A good start was effected, Bassett getting
away first, Wanderer second, and Hub
bard third. AT the half-miIe pole Wan
derer was leading Bassett length, Hub.
bard making a trailing race about
dozen lengths in the rear. These posi-
tions were maintained the first mile. but
ON going up the backstretch Bassett
quit, and Wanderer, increasing his lead
at every stride, looked every inch a
winner. AT this period the hackers oil
McDanie's stable sought to hedge,
and there were large odds offered
that Wanderer would win. Hub-
bard now got in the race and, passing
Basset, rushed along at a tremendous
pace, challenging Wanderer and taking
the lead from him. On entering the
hOme-stretch, Hubbard led bv two
lengths and won as he pleased. The re-
suit OF the race created general aston |
lshment, as before the start Colonel |
Mcdaniel asked to withdraw Hubbard. |
stating that the horse was sick, but the |
judges declined the request. Mcdaniel |
gave out that he would merely gallon
Hubbard and leave the race between
Bassett and Wanderer.
