Sir Modrcd in tho Great Eastern Handicap
last year. which was run over Just such
course as yesterdays. Consequently. when the

points Scarcely anybody wanted King
Thomas. his unwieldy and ungainly stable
companion, but Pnlisade, the crack colt brought
East by tho Chicago Stables with the avowed
purpose Of winning this race carried bundles
of money for his owners, who were snRularly
sanguine that they could repeat their Ameri-
can Derby coup. and win Paisade out with
plenty to spare as they did Uncle Bob at Chi
cago last week. As Palisade is partial to q
heavy track. their confidence did not wane by
any means when the rain descended in tor
rents, They had engaged Taral to ride. and
could not figure out how their colt could be
worse than second at the finish. Mr.. Belmont
sent Her IliChness and Padishah from his
stable, Hamilton riding the former and carry
ing first colors. Although not thoroughly

in manv instances comueled to turn their
states in self defence. The race needs little
description. Mr.. Caldwell sent the lot away at
the first attempt to an excellent start, with Her
