about the pooling stands was tre-
mcndous, and it was difficult to
get within the sound of the
booksellers voice. Despite the fact that

ter-crack, he was a great fayorit, and sold
for S1,100, while Pierre Lorillard's pair
brought $3.50, Monitor, $500, and Glcnmore

took his preliminary canter, but the recep-

and Monitor, more than dozen lengths
separating them. Two lengths behind aloni-

rear ones were closing up gradually, and when
they reached the tilrce-quarter pole they
were at close quarters. Into the stretch they
came, and as Blackburn pushed forward to
take the lead his hackers shouted Justify.
