splendid animals, every one of them winners
during t,e meeting, was entered. All three,

ssd Martins Bob Moloy started and much
interest was centered in their performance.
Bessie Davis was the fsvori!e ia the pools at
$50, Pilgrimage second choice at 500, Mol,
10y selling for $40. The first effort for
ssrt at the seven.eighths of mile post, was
q false one and Molloy ran away with his
rider, going fully three furlongs before be
could stop him. When be got him checked
and rode back to the starting post and turned
him in the track to get ready for the start,
the high strung young rascal ran away with
him again, going nearly as fsr rs
next effort they we're gotten off
well together, Molloy at the pole, Pilgrimage
next 10 him and Bessie on the outside. They
passed tho stand with Pilgrimage about a
length TO the front, Molloy next to him ard
Bessie on his flank, thus they entered the
back stretch, Bessie probably trHe further
to the rear, when Molloy began to shove up
on Pilgrimage, both getting further away
from Bessie, leading her by two lengths and
all three running thus up to the hotel, when
Pilgrimage increased his speed tribe,
though still running under strong pull, as
were all of them. Half way to the club
house Bessie let out reef, taking on thus,
more sail and sped up nearer. Pilgrimage
and Molloy we're fighting each other hard, |
but both still held we'll in hand. As they
made the turn at the quarter post and en-
tered well the home stretch, both
Pilgrimage land Molloy were given
heads and were sent homeward AZ a mag
nfcent rate Of speed. Molloy under whip.
Bessie was sent forward some too, but her
Jockey was not stesdying her well, nor urg-
Ing her, yet within thirty PAGES of the string
she passed Molloy, beating him for second
place by half length, Pilgrimage going
under the string ahead Of her and winner of
The race by two lengths. Molloy's jockey
put in charge of foul riding against the
jockey of Pilgrimage, claiming that he cut
10 ahead Of him Immediately after the start,
taking the pole so suddenly as to force him
TO shorten his stride The charge was duly
considered, evidence heard and discussed and
the claim of foul not allowed so that the race
was given 10 Pilgrimage, and tho
hyorite Bessie Davis beaten. 1t
Is due to Bessie and to
her jockey, who 1t was stated did not steady
her in her running, to announce that her
ssddle-girth broke before she had run q
quarter of a mile, and being handicapped
with this mishap, her jockey was unable to
preserve his own perfect equilibrium or 10
steady her, and was afraid to drive her.
