Aaron Pennington FIRST away Shylock second,
Willie Burke close up Pennington, on the inside,
dashed up the homestretch in the heaviest part of it,
Willie Burke in the middle Shylock outside. When
they passed under the wire Aaron Pennington was
leading a length, Willie Burke second, length in
advance of Shylock. Going around the upper turn
Pennington showed the way, Willie Burke second,
Shylock close up, and they reached the quarter
pole Pennington led TWO lengths under a strong pull
Willie Burke a length in front of Shylock AS the
horses came down to the blun, Hayward fetched
Shyiock rapidly the right, and took sides with
Burke they passed around the hill Swim kept
Pennington in hand and led out of sight about
length and half in front. When the horses ap-
peared in view on the lower turn, Pennington was
leading q length, Willie Burke half length
front Of shyock, but when they passed the
three-quarer pole Pennington leading lengths,
Burke second a neck in advance of Shylock. They
dashed up the stretch rapidly making the mud fly the
Jockeys behind Swim getting binding shower. When
they passed under the the Pennington
three lengths 'front.' Burke second head in front OF
Shvlock Going around the upper turn Shylock began
TO drop off and Willie Burke made an attempt to close
and did shut up some of the daylight between himself
and Pennington At the quarter pole Pennington led
TWO lengths, Nltlle ancau VI Gny-
lock Pennington went out of sight around the hlll
three lengths in front of Willie Burke but when he APP
peared again the lower turn Willie Burke was at his
saddle skirts, and shouts of joy were given
by the hackers Of Willie Burke, with cries of
'sHe's got himl He's got hIm" But through
our field glass plainly that Pennington was un-
der strong pull, and that Willie Burke was being
forced at the time Shylock was then practically out
of the race being ten lengths behind with the distance
being increased every moment AS the horses came
into the homestretch Swim pulled Pennington over TO
the outside Of the track which was the hardest
and best part of IT, and Willie Burke went with
him and lay close at his side On they came majority
OF the spectators believing that Willie Burke would win
the race and their hopes were not dispeled until the
horses within twenty yards OF the stand, when
Swim gave Pennington his head and he won the race by
halt length to the great joy OF his heavy hackers
Shylock was beaten dozen lengths or more Time of
