NOW THEY'RE OFF!

NOW THEY'RE OFF!
was shouted, and as often the announcement
was delusive. At last it was made in earnest,
and 200 pairs of eyes saw the La FaYorita colt
start ahead of the lot with Torso next, Chaos
third and st. Carlo fourth. Chaos Immediately
darted across the track to the rail with Torso
at his shoulder. The latter was first past the
half mile post hall length before Chaos, who
was full length in front of Belmont, who had
Eccola colt and Houston at his saddle grth
They presented very beautiful picture as they
rounded the upper turn and came into the
home stretch. Torso was first into the straight,
a length before Ballaret, who led Chaos neck,
st. James and St Carlo heading the others i'm
mediately behind.
Neither whip nor spur was spared in the run
in. A fortune was at its further end, and every
jockey rode as though life depended on his get
last furlong post it was seen that the great
prize lay at the mercy of Ballaret, St. Carlo or
Torso. Then it was that Garrison rose to the
grandeur of the occasion. He now bent him
self to his task with heart and SOUL. Another
sixteenth of the distance was passed and then
his ears were treated to the welcome music,
COME HOME MY ST. CARLO.
And come home he did, in manner that made
his hackers breasts swell with Joy Another
shout hailed his victory as he dashed by the
imaginary line a winner by nearly three lengths
in 10213. Ballaret second, was length and a
half before Torso third.
The fractional time was: First quarter in
025 the three-eighths in 0:37 and the half mile

following order: Drizzle Chaos, Devotee,
Houston, Kelp, colt Homeopathy, Mucilage,

or less with ordinary horses, he can no longer
go distance with the cracks of the day. The
trio were sent off with Elkwood infront Diablo
next and Hanover last, all heads apart Before
they had made two jumps, Elkwood was stirred
up with the whip. Hanover took the lead, and
came by the stands two lengths before Diablo,
who was the same distance in front of Elk
wood. On the lower turn, Hanover was eaSed
a bit and at the quarter post Diablo was but
a length behind him. Half way up the back
stretch Diablo moved up and took the lead
without difficulty.
HANOVER WAS BEATEN.
As they rounded the upper turn he ran away
from Hanover with ease and came into the
home stretch six full lengths before him. 1t
was all over but the shouting. Diablo raced
home at his ease and won by half dozen
lengths in 29SA Hanover only got the place
he sparing neither whip nor spur to get it.
