Egmont Carries His New CoIors Gal
lantly to the Front.
LOUISVILLE, May 24th.-The most sue
cessful spring meeting, from racing point
of view, in the history of the Louisville
Jockey Club closed to-day with magnifi-
cent programme. The racing throughout
the ten days has been superb, and but for
the rainy weather the club would have en-
loyed an equally great financial success.
The event OF the day was the Kentucky
handicap, and the field was fine one. In
II were two derby winners and the winner
of the Dumbertis stakes, horses that had
made records and not one of which would
have been a genuine surprise had he won.
Terra Gotta was the favorite, though Eg-
mont sold well up with him, and the
others were well backed.
The race was beautiful one, being run
from end to end, and there were no lag
CARDS until the last furlopg was reached,
1t was furious pace that Gallifet set after
leaving the first quarter-post stand, and the
time in which Egmont, the really great son
OF Enquirer, won was equal to the record,
the track being regarded at best as slow.
The first quarter was run in 253, the half in
ola, the three-quarters in 1:163, the mile in
1:4l4, and the mile and quarter in 2O74
The first money was worth s., 900, and the
second 81, $50.
Gallifet would most probably have
finished better had it not been for an
accident to his jockey. The hurt was
pronounced by the doctor only a bruise,
but at the head of the stretch,
when McCarty Strengthened up in the
his saddle for final effort, the strain caused
him to fracture his leg, and the chestnut
colt dropped back. The Chicago Stable,
the owners of Egmont, purchased him only
yesterday for $10500. The stable won first
money in the third, fourth and fifth races
to-day, and second money in the first and
second. All of the events were hotly con-
tested, and the time was excellent.
HOW IT WAS RUN.
A delay was caused at the post by Unite
kicking Mccarthy, the jockey on Gallifet.
For so large field they were sent away in
good style, and with no annoying break
Always. Unite was in front down the
stretch and passing the stand, Poteen sec
ond and Gallifet third-the others well
punched. Rounding the first turn Gallifet
commenced to go forward, and at the quar-
ter was close upon Unite, Telie Doe Sec
ond. the rest punched and close behind.
Round the turn and past the half was fast
and furious, Gallifet still leading, Terra
Gotta second, Libretto third, and Egmont
fourth. At the three quarters the game
3-year-old of the Melbourne Stable was
holding on with a terrific grip to the
first-place favorite, Terra Gotta second and
the others all urging for the final quarter
Down the run home the orange colors
flashed to the fore to remain, Egmont COM
ing away from the rest at the one-sixteenth
pole with great stride that had plenty OF
LIE IN 1t, Terra Gotta second and Nickfin-
ger third. Egmont passed under the wire
winner by two lengths without lash OF
the whip, Terra Gotta second, the same dis
tance in front of Nickfnger, third, Libertto
fourth, Montrose fifth Boaz sixth Poteen
seventh, Gallifet eighth, Telie Doe ninth,
lnsolence tenth and Unite last. Time, 2:07!
