2:15L.
Crowds thronged the course to-day Dur
ing the hosting of the numbers which
showed thirty-two runners there was sharp
shower, but before the start the sun shone
brightly. Great annoyance was felt by
Americans at not seeing Foxhall and Mis-
take saddled on the paddock. A majority,
including Foxhall and Mistake. had the
finishing touch at the Starting post early in
the morning Mistake was backed in a
spirited manner at $33 to 81, while FOxhap
maintained his position. large amount
went on Keen and Champion. The track
was very heavy. There was some de-
lay in starting. Sportsman and Peter
showing much temper. The field eventually
got away on pretty good terms and for the
moment presenting beautiful line OF
color. Shinglass and Eminence were first
to break the line, and they made a joint
running with knight Athol, Lucy Glitters
Montrose and Prometheus. For immediate
attendants, we'll up with these, were the
Corrie Filly, Muriel, Scobell, Falkirk and
Incendiary. Then came Petronell, Preston
paus, Ben Dor, Pilammon. the remainder
being well together for three furlongs, when
Shinglass and Eminence dropped back and
Lucy Glitters assumed the lead. She was
succeeded by Tristan, :Pir;eus, Incendiary,
Poulet, Philammon, Prometheus and Fox
hall The last mentioned had worked away
from the ruck and was lying handy with
the lot named. At the red post he
had drawn up to Lucy Glitters, who
headed him by only a half length,
| the pair running very wide of each other,
Foxhall being on the top ground. Tristan
and Poulet were alone, showing prominent
| in the center of the course. The race was
now confined almost to these four, for they
were long way clear of Incendlary and
Pirseus, who shortly afterward showed dis
| tress. When half way up the hill Foxhall
made grand squirt, and quickly getting on
terms with Lucy Glitters, won cleverly by a
head, Tristan, running on to the end, being
beaten by neck for second place.
AN INTERVIEW WITH KEENE.
| NEW YORK, Oct 25.-James r. Keene
| owner of Foxhall. was warmly congratu,
lated on his victory. Asked if it was un
expected, Keene replied, "Well, / should
say not, as / backed him very heavily to
win the race. He is the grandest horse in
| the world to win, carrying the immense
penalty he did, on account OF his former
| victories. The great Ben Dor, unplaced at
| even weights, and Lucy Glitters, who has
proved herself good racer and carrying
1 only nlnety-On pOuuuS, were Oedbch Oy NY
horse. He was ridden by third-rate jockey
so our English friends can hardly credit the
victory to great experience or the ability of
| the rider" lr-
| What is your opinion of the colt now?'
"That he is the greatest horse in the world,
and would not fear to start him against
anything on four legs. His winning the
i Cambridgeshire to-day, and thus making the
most remarkable double victory" having
previously landed the Czarowitch. is the
| most marvellous performance ever accomp-
| lished.'
"How about the rumOrs of match be-
| tween Iroquois and your coltg'
Il would rather not express myself on
that point, but my opinion of Foxhall you
know If he retains form, don't think
any living horse can out foot or out stay
him."
