Then came the three-mile race much talked
of during the whole week. Clara d. and
Connor were the only starters. Connor had
the pole. Clara D, was the pool favorite two
to one Clara led Connor at the quarter by
fifty yards, the latter being evidently held by
his jockey, policy the boy had tried once
before in the week and failed in, that of al
lowing the animal to trail behind with view
to a final push at the close to take first place.
The first mile was finished in this way in
1:5i On the second mile at the upper turn
Clara widened the gap between her and Con
nor considerably, but on the stretch the lat
ter began to close it up slowly. The second
mile was finished in $50. On the turn Con-
nor began to gain on his leader, and half way
to the half mile post had eollared in the
prettiest bit of running seen for many day,
but the effort was too great for him. and he
could do no more at the score than keep his
nose in a line with her streaming tail, and
hence Clara d. won, while the people ap-
plauded her loudly. Time, 5:3Sa. The best
time in America is 5:274. In Australia it
has been lowered to 5:26l.
