string when the upper turn was passed
the second time.
Then the struggle comp,encd.
Whip and spur were piled
without mercy. In the fight just before
the last quarter was reached 1t was difficult
to tell just what occurred on account of
the darkness, but enough could be seen
to know that Scoville pushed his 1000
years of specific breeding to the front,
passing Spider as though the latter were
a stationery object. He was followed by
st. Halma, the blaze faced beauty and
Trouble, the pluckY sorrel whose staying
powers, pity It's, do not equal his nerve,
ambition and gamey qualities.
The crowd Gadmired Deronda's wonder
full stride and shouted; it enthused over
the tremendous fire and the spectators
rose to their feet; they became half delir-
ious oyer that miraculous reaching for the
ground in front, and hurting away Of it
in the rear aud screamed in a voice. And
when they came up the home stretch De-
ronda still led, but was closely followed.
He was not to be overtaken and continued
to widen the gap between himself and the
wonderful blazeface. The sight was
inspiring. When whips were not raj ed
rowels were used or heads given. There
was no pulling back in this race. To
win it, if possible, was the object of every
rider and the horses that were defeated
were simply too slow.
"Deronda wins came up from all
quarters as the magnificent animal passed
under the wire a clean two lengths ahead
of st. Halma, Trouble third. Spider,
badly winded, fourth, Endebar, quite
tired, fifth; Nellie Bly,, doing her best,
sixth; Little Owl, disappointing several
who had backed the pace setter as tail
ender, seventh, and Frederick, who had
all along been considered a dangerous
animal, eighth.
The horses were brought back blowing
and were quickly %blanketed, for the air
had become chilly. The winner was soon
surrounded, praised and petted, while the
rider, Mr.. Scoville, was heartily congrat.
ulated by hundreds. Hopkins, the
Goodell trainer, was even more iubilart
than the owner of the winner himself.
The race was magniicently ridden.
Scoville handled Deronda in a mastery
manner, saving his mount for the finish.
The work of the cowboy Jockey, John
Kuykendall. was praised without stint.
He said several days ago that if use OF
whip and spur could make st. Halma
win, the Davis colors would be victorious.
but the pace was too hot and the distance
too long for his mount.
Deronda, the winner, is a large, dark
bay horse, bred at the Belvoir ranch, neal
this city. His sire was Glencoe, a Ken
lucky bred animal. His dam, Maggie
Rankin, is by Legal Tender, who is by
Waterloo. G~lencoe's sire, Membrino
King, is by Harris Glencoe. The an
cestors of Deronda, it will be seen, were
thoroughbreds. All have won fame on
the Kentucky turf.
Deronda's time was 2:159.

in the order named. The latter broke at
the end OF the first quarter, and lost more

Ting clip. Colorado passed under tie wire

Page third, and the presidents namesake

Second hedt-This trip was somewhat
slower than the first. After considerable
scoring the horses were sent off pretty

almost anyone's heat. They did race
