work on the part Of the starter. Cassius,
Prince Royal, Tenny aud Salvador were in
the first flight, the Others all up and as
close as they could with safety be.
Taral ut once made his policy evident
With cut of the whip and prick Of ths
spur he jumped Cassius in front and made
for the rail. As they came by the grand
stand all were running freely under heavy
raps, Cassius a length and half before
Strideaway, who was a neck In front OF
Longstreet. Salvador on the rail was an
easy fourth, while beside him, rafting along
and keeping any one from crowding him,
was the beautiful Firenzi. just before the
Judges stand was reached Garrison took
Tenny back. The pace was a terrific one
Tenny's Friends Anxious.
Light weighted Cassius was running like
a wild horse, increasing the distance be-
tween himself and the leaders at every
stride and, hugging the pole, went around
the turn like a cyclone Longstreet was
sprinting hard, with Strideaway two
lengths and a half away, while on their
quarter hung Salvador Firenzi and Prince
Royal were lying next and on the outside
was Ienny.
He seem to get tangled up on the turn,
and, though running gamely, his efforts
were comparatively ineffective. Here II
was, however that the friends of Tenny
became anxious. He was running Just as
freely as was Salvador, but away on the
outside had lengths the worst Of IT, II
Garrison, when he pulled him back after
the start, had any idea that he could get
through when he wanted Or that the race
would be made waiting one, he com
mitted a grievous error. He was endeav-
oring to remedy it, but everything was
against him. He was on the outside of
two horses in the race.
Murphy His Nemesis
Strengthened on the backstretch Taral
took one look behind him. Taylor was
riding Strideway and Bergen was at work
on Longstreet From these he had nothing
to fear but Murphy, his Nemesis, was sit
ting perfectly still on Salvador. That was
enough for Taral and he asked Cassius co
80 on His only hope lay in setting pace
that would kill the heavy weight division.
| Garrison had handled Tenny we'll on the
turn, and once Strengthened he began 70
move his colt up Longstreet was beaten
for all purposes at the three-quarters, and
Murphy moved up Salvador. He seemed
utterly Indifferent TO everything but his
own horse. He had not touched him with
either whip or spur Rounding for home
Garrison had the Hyperion curl on his back
and he made a demand on Tenny. The lat
ter responded, but it was not in his usual
brilliant style.
Tenny Was Done For.
He seemed to lack the vim that charac-
terized his earlier races Of the year. Hall
way round the turn the Snapper drew
his whip and the grand stand stood still
Could it be that Tenny was beateni II
seemed so. Salvador was not being pun
ished and Tenny was. "Cassius winsN
| yelled an excited man who hung over the
upper deck Of the stand, and the cry was
taken up and echoed over and over again
only to meet a counter deafening yell that
came from toward the upper end, Of ''Tenny
winsw And so it momentarily seemed
but at the sixteenth pole he faltered, and
the struggle wis between Cassius and Sal
vator.
An Exciting Finish.
Garrison, pale but determined, was Wig
/ orously at work on the little sway back
horse Tenny, who was making a gallant
| fight, but without avail Tenny was beat
en-, and Murphy knew it. The Beverwycl
| colt was the persimmon he was after, anC
a furlong from home he reached the head
of the noble Cassius, who had the pole
| Murphy, as his won't in all races, looked
straight ahead, but at the same time h.
| had a surprise in store for young Tara
that metamorphosed his cake into yeri
table lump Of dough. On the leaders came
every nerve and sinew in horse and ridei
being taxed to their utmost Garrison was
working might and main, but he could moi
catch the leaders, and Salvador passed un
der the wire neck before Cassius, whC
was three lengths the best of Tenny. TheI
came Strideaway, two lengths further
back, with Firenzi, Raceland, Prince
Royal, Longstreet and Montague Saliva
tors time was 2:06 4-5

but s. 100000 would not fall far short o
