The Wyoming Cup.
In the Wyoming cup race anticipation
was better than realization, for 10 the
mile and a half run Deronda had the field
at his mercy, and won as he liked, max
ing the pace to suit himself. and leading
BY two lengths or ten as his rider willed.
For half an hour before the starters
| laced the flag the crowd was in a state OF
! ucitement intoxication. Betting con-
tnued till within a minute of the go, with
Deronda f~avorite and Limerick well liked,
PuIEler next and Eagle the hope of the

The saddling paddock was beside the
Judges stand. Puzzler, a big, rangey
boxing roau, a young horse, but a good
rtor, was the first to appear and was cor
daily received, as he made a fine run for

at a killing clip and finishing third with

himself 10 the club cup contes. and was
generously applauded yesterday. He is a
willing horse, and knowing his sprintlDR
qualities, many had hit upon him as the
pacemaker, and a large number of these
hoped he would develop the bottom to
come home as he started.

the mighty Limerick, with Geo. Wander

appearance was the signal tor a storm of
~huEZas, complimentary to horse and
rider. Limerick looks a racer. He has a
good muzzle, delicate, shapely bead, bril-
liant eyes, is coupled long and shows
ftrength through shoulders and across the
hlps. He was a bit restless, but was held
