uve a close finish, and the twO-yesrold
race looked inviting For the Cup only Eoe and Monitor
were to run and Eole 10 defeat monitor. ne
had made sorry sight of the old geding In tne Coney
Island Cup aud the 5tirrp Cup, and naturally ne oouu

special Excitement But fit is anywhere IN the word
that the unex pected ia always happening t Is Oh tne
race track Tho racing proved to Do among

Mr. Gebhard the owner Of Eoe, Mr.. snedeKer 'ne

Mr. Gebhard has succeeded in catching the popu
