tions five started. In the pools Astral sold for
S27. The contestants were closely bnnched at the
start but Big Fellow soon pushed in 'front.' of the
group, yet this was but FOR a second only as
Astral came out of the crowd and at
the head OF the stretch went to the front and won
the race with ease; Judge. Pryor was second and
Big Fellow third. Buford's bay colt La Grange
did not start, as he was Off the course when the
word was given. This was owing to the General
endeavoring to find another rloer, the Jockey he
had being over weight. The Judges decided that
the race should be considered If he had started
from the post. The official timers were out OF the
stand, and, consequently, not noticing the moye-
ments OF Major Wiley, who had gone down to the
