the track as fast a. possible ever to get it,
and attendance fully $4,000. The great
event of the day was the fourth on the
card. Buddhist was the first to show up.
He was followed by Salvador. Caliente,
Proctor Knott, Erie, Lioness and Long
street did not parade, but remained on
the backstretch until they started.
After a false start the flag
fell to an elegant send-off, in
which Salvador was first away, Lioness,
Longstreet, Caliente and Buddhist next,
Proctor Knott last. Lioness at once set
sail, and on the upper turn was length
before Eric, who had gotten in front OF
Csliente. Buddhist, Salvador and Proc
tor Knott were length apart in the rear.
Passing the stand, Li0ness was length
and a half before Buddhist, who was the
same distance in front of Longstreet, who
led Eric length. Salvator and Proctor
Knott brought up the rear. On the lower
turn Buddhist was at Lioness' shoulder
and length and half before Long
street. who was length in front of Eric.
Salvador and Knott we're still behind.
AS they rounded into the backstretch
Buddhist took the lead, two lengths be-
fore Longstreet; Lioness third. Salvador
moved up to the third place, nearing the
stables, and Proctor Knott kept him COM
pany. They ran in this way, half
lengths apart, until they swung into the
home stretch then began the tug of war
in earnest; neither whip, spur nor voice
was spared to gain the lead. At the last
furlong Longstreet was length before
Salvador, who was two lengths in front OF
Buddhist, who had Proctor Knott at
his collar. Now the fight was fast and
furious. Proctor Knott began moving
up, but to the dismay of his back srs
Longstreet began drawing away in front.
"Why, Longstreet wins! Nobody but
Longstreet," was the cry. 1t was true.
moment later he had cleared daylight
between himself and the next pursuer.
Half second later he was by the Judges
line, the winner by two lengths Proctor,
second, was head before Salvador,
third. Buddhist, Lioness, Eric and Cal
iente finished in the order named. Time
