The start was from behind the judges stand and on
The agOual track running the iuclosure finer
looking lot threeyear ODDS has rarely faced the star
ter To the general surprise Tom Bowling dd not mani
fest usual oOsunacy in joining the horses, but was
couparitivey quiet, although his stalwart coored at
fendant Ed Houston, kept strong hold on LIS head
He had however, a powerful twitch his jaw which
.decually controlled him. and which, when the flag fell
was left hanging from his mouth, there being no
chance 70 detach it. Mr. Wheaty wasted
no time in sending them of, but the

aud Merodoc next him, Tom Bowling fourth FeOwcraft
next. Count D'Orsay maniestng stubborness in
starting SIXTH and waverley last Of oll Before the
horses had gone half across the diagonal track Tom
Rawlings tremendous speed had placed him in the van
and when they entered the regular course near the half
mile pole and tho cloud OF dust had cleared away he
was seen leading MerOdOc a length and a hail. John
Mccormack Tapped the latter, with springbOk fourth,
FeIowcraft dnh and Count D'orsay next. Waverley
sill whipping in the field On the lower stretch Tom
Rawlings lead was increased TO two lengths, MerOdOc
being a neck in front Of SpringOok ana the others
In their previous positions. Turning into the home
stretch the horses swept mp the run like a squad
ron OF cavalry and they went under the string the
frst time Tom Bowling was stl leading clean length,
Merodoc having neck the best OF Sprngbok, who was
running easily and inspiring the followers OF the Con
federacv with sangune hopes OF victory John McCor
mack FeIoWcraft, Count D'Orsay, and Wayerley were
still running IN the order named. As they went around
the upper turn springbok passed Merodoc and lay at
Tom Bowng's quarters, Mccormack taking third place
before reathng the quarter pole at which point Spring
box was four lengths ahead Of the latter and an open
length behind McGraths colt The pace now began 10

terrific rate Of l:44 Going along the home stretch
sprlngbok closed on Tom Bowling and got
his head to the latter's saddle-girths, the
two being fully ten lengths before Mccormack, who
was half length before Merodoc, Count DOrsay and
Fellowcraft running Tapped Merodocs fanks. At
the half-me pole Tom Bowling was leading Springbok
threefourths OF length, the others fully ten lengths
distant and apparently out Of the race they fen st
further behind on the lower turn SprngbOk hung per
ssteny on Toms hanks, but the moment the excite
ment Of the multitude at It's hight and just the
two leading horses swung into the last quarter Spring
bok was observed 70 fan suddenly, throwing his rider
Jimmy Roe over the rail- and amid the deepest excite
ent the horse was 70 rise and gaop rderless up
tbe stretch after Tom Bowling. Bobby" swim, who
rode the latter turned in his saddle, and seeing the

Wayerey dozen lengths behind, took pull on his horse
aud gaoped home winner by ten lengths amid lm-
mense cheering from the Kentucky division Wayerey
being second dozen lengths before MerOdoc; Fellow
craft fourth John Mccormack nfth and Count DOrsay,
whose running sadly disappointed his friends sixth.
Time 3:O9; How the accident caused could not be
clearly ascertaned, some maintaining that swim had
ridden sprngbok foul by striking into him and KNOCK
ing him over; while others asserted that as Tom
poynR was IN the Lead and had the inside, such could
not possibly be the case; but that tho mshap was
cansed By Roe who tried TO take the inside rails from
Tom Bowling when behind him, and had been Knocked
over tn consequence springbok had his fore pas
