to rush TO the front in the first half mile
but yesterday all efforts in that direction

her better than McCumsey, but it was
pain ally apparent that the little mare
from the first heat was becoming ragged

save her from defeat. Jersey Boy mover
appeared to better advantage, trotting

In the fifth heat good start was eff

around the turn nec1 and neck with
Delaware close third. The latter soon
fell behind as the speed was too great
! for him, and all interest was centered in
I the first two horses. Sadie led to the first
half mile, but up the backstretch Jersey
Boy was hanging tenaciously, and up to
the head of the stretch the positions
were unchanged. The finish was beau
tiful. Jersey Boy showing in front about
fifty yards from the wire, and winning

point Of the race, and Jersey Boy be-
came hot favorite.

falling considerably behind. At the halt
Sadie still held big advantage. which
she maintained to the finish, Jersey Boy
acting badly throughout. 'c' 5e'... >
The next two heats, which finished
the race, were won by Jersey Boy quite
haAdily, Sadie Bell in each showing
symptoms of weakness. The last heat
was trotted in 229; Delaware second,
