for the American turf, and as
such it will he set down in
history. The day was per-
feet one for racing purposes. Early
in the morning the atmosphere was
hay and felt somewhat damp. About
II o'clock few dark clouds lowered
over the city, but little later the sun
shone brightly, and the trains to Sleeps
head Bay were crowded with people. A
very large proportion of the early ar
rivals were ladies', who were anxious TO
secure seats. Their foresight was CON-
mendable, for many

only a glimpse of the course and horses
now and then over the shoulders in
front of them.
Eighty-fOu bOokmakers were doing
business under the gigantic shed.
There were also three straight aud three
place mutual machines i'll operation,
and the American auction pool
seller had more men assembled about
him than he ever addressed before
1t is safe to say that not far from 81 ,000,-
900 changed hands through these differ
ent waging instrumentalitie this after
noon. The condition OF the track was
as near perfect as possible. The old
track was in ideal condition, but there
were irregularities in the new portion
OF what is now called The Futurity
Course" due 10 the fact that ii Is newly
made and is alternately hard and soft

Never was bride arrayed with greater
care than were the fourteen youngsters
who were 10 strive for the greatest prize
ever offered for tHo-year-OldS IN Amer
lea. Eric was the first 10 start TO the
post and as the others. by twos and
threeS and Singly, followed MIN, great
surprise was expressed that the
CONTESTANTS WERE NOT PARADED,
as customary. When they faced the
starter they could only be seen by those
in the extreme northern end of the
grand stand, and they could not see
them plainly. When the horses were
at the post Mr.. Caldwell said: Now,
boys, don't break until you are all To-
geJher. Be quiet and don't break away
needleSsly." They got into line imme-
diately after and instantly the flag fell
and they were OFF, with Forest King a
trifle in front of Tipstaff, with Proctor
Knott, Auricoma, Limbo, SenOriIa and
Salvador together, and Eric and the Viii
lage Maid last. Forest King and Tip
staff Immediately began racing, and
were but heads apart IN front at the
first furlong post. They raised
tremendous cloud of dust as they
came on, with Proctor Knott and Galen
running next the leaders, Auricoma
just behind, and The Lioness, Princess
Bowling and the Village Maid bringing
up the rear. As they came 10 the bend
al the head of the home stretch Galen
was making the pace, and those
along the rall were shouting ''Galen,
Galen, So that Galen wins" Proc
tor Knott was running easy,
but laying back a bit, with
Auricoma, Limbo and Salvador punched,
ana Mclaughlin whipping Auricoma
with might and main. AT the last fur
long post Salvador was showing the
way, and there were shouts Of Sal

Barnes gave Proctor Knott a shaking

gallant squirt, he dashed 10 the front,
and, amid the cheers and shouts of the
delighted spectators,
He WON BY A NECK.

been fOuled by Proctor Knott, but the
Judges did not allow the claim. There
was far less enthusiasm over the race
than there would have been had the
