ard Martins Bob Moloy. started and much
inter, st was conferred in their performance.
Bessie Davis was the favorite in the pools at
$50, Pilgrimage second choice at $50, Mol-
low selling for $40. The first Effort for
art at the seven.eighths of mile post, was
false one and Molloy ran away with bis
rider, going fully three furloDgs before he
could stop him. When he got him checked
and rode back to TIE starting post and turned
him in the track to get resdy for the start,
the high strung young rascal ran away with
him again, going nearly as far rs
he did before. Finally at the
next effort they were gotten CIT

Pilgrimage increased his speed tribe,
though still running under strong pull, as
we're 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 were fighting each other hard,
but both still held we'll in hand. AS they

tered we'll the home stretch, both
Pilgrimage and Molloy were given
heads and were sent homeward az mag
nificent rate of speed. Molloy under whip.
Bessie was sent forward some too, but her
Jockey was not steadying 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 gong

the race by two lengths. Molloy's jockey
mt in a charge of foul riding sgainst the
Jockey of Pilgrimage, clsiming that he cut
in ahead of him Immediately after the start,
taking the pole.so suddenly as to force him
70 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 to Pilgrimage, and the
fsvorite Bessie Davis beaten. Ii
Is due to Bessie and 70
her Jockey, who it was stated did not STEADY
her in her running, to announce that her
saddle.girth broke before she had run
quarter of a mile, and being handicapped
with this mishap, her jockey was unable to
preserve his own perfect equilibrium or to
steady her, and was afraid to drive her.
