LIST OF THE STARTERS.


desirable positions from which to view the
race. In trice the inner field was lined for
half mile with faces a dozen deep, while, on
the other hand, the throng closed in until 1t
formed one solid mass, upon whose shoulders
three furlongs could be walked in either direc-
ton from the center of the stand. At the third
attempt away they sped, with Terra Gotta,
Badge, Elkwood and Gorgo on even terms, the
others, with the exception of Bella B., who
swerved to the extreme outside, well up. Down
through the lane of faces the nine chargers
few, and passing the stand, where everybody
is clappIng hands and shouting wildly, Volun-
teer and Gorge ran side by side a length and a
half before Eurus, two lengths before Badge,
a neck in front of Terra Gotta and Elkwood.
AROUND THE LOWER TURN
Volunteer made the pace very fast a length
before Gorgo, half length In front of Bella B,
who had shot up on the outside, neck in front
of Eurus, at whose saddle-skirts Badge was
running very easily, Raceland, Terra Gotta and
Elkwood bringing up the rear. Both Terra
Gotta and Elkwood were cut off badly on the
lower turn and Mclaughlin had to take pull
on Terra Gotta to keep him from going down.
At the quarter pole Gorgo was the leader half
a length before Volunteer, the same distance
in front of Bella B, with Eurus at her shoulder,
Badge half length behind Bryan Boru and
Terra Gotta and Elkwood. 1t looked blue for
the favorites, and especially Terra Gotta, who
was fully seven lengths behind the leader. and
Mclaughlin began to ride the chestnut horse
vigorously. Up the back stretch the flying
Gorge tore two lengths before the others, of
which Raceland was the most prominent.
GARRISON LooMED UP
Garrison having come upon the outside with
the gelding at pace that gladdened the hearts
of his hackers. AT the half-mile pole Gorgo
was leading Raceland by two and a half
Badge, a neck before Bella B., Terra Gotta
length away under the whip, Elkwood next and
Volunteer beaten off. AS they flew around the
upper turn Raceland reduced Gorgo's
lead to a length, Eurus the same dis
tance behind the favorite, and Badge a
neck away leading Terra Gotta by
whip and spur, and the game horse underneath
him responding to every cut with the utmost
courage. When half way around the turn, and
while apparently going easy Bella B. suddenly
bolted across the track, and before Taylor
could straighten her out again she was out of the
hunt Gorgo maintained her lead of a length
into the staight. Raceland half a length before
Eurus, the same in front of Terra Gotta, who
was now coming very fast on the outside.
RACELAND TO THE FRONT.
"Gorgo wins A 20 to shotr' shoutsLsom
hasty persons as Senator Hearst's green and
illy, but Garrison speedily stilled those cries
as he shot to the front with Raceland the mo-
ment he saw Mclaughlin loom up with Terra
Gotta. At the furlong pole Raceland had his
long neck in front of Terra Gotta, who was on
even terms of it. Garrison moved few times
on the favorite and drew away, winning handlly
by two lengths. The battle for second honors
between Terra Gotta and Gorge was close and
bitterly contested, and the Western champion
only secured it by short neck. Gorgo was
third, two lengths before Eurus. six in front of
BRYAN Boru, a neck before Badge, and Elkwood
last. Volunteer and Bella B walked in. Fol-
lowing are the results:
