Race at Detroit.

Of EleCtiOneer.
Tenny Runs Away From Firenzi at Mon
mouth Park-ClOsing Day of The
St. Paul Meeting.


DETROIT, Aug. 2-Forty-fve hundred
people witnessed grand contest between
Palo Alto, the son of Electioneer, and Jack,
the son of Pilot Medium, to-day. The day
was warm, the track in good condition and
the wind light. People were present from
all over the State and crowds came up from
Cleveland. Palo Alto was the favorite be-
fore the first heat, auctions selling 500 for
him against $50 on Jack.
In the first heat Palo Alto led by length
on the turn, but near the quarter broke,
and Jack quickly headed him. Palo Alto
quickly gathered speed around the turn,
and at the three quarters they were to-
gether. On the stretch, however, Palo Alto
again broke. and Jack took big lead,
winning easily in 2:1Jk.
In the auction before the second heat
Jack brought 500 and Palo Alto S64. They
got off well together and ran like a team
past the quarter. On the backstretch Jack
broke and Palo Alto secured a long lead,
which the gelding could not overcome,
although he made grand struggle. Palo Alto
won by two lengths in 2:l35, breaking the
record OF the track in race, beating the
stallion-race record and equaling the fastest
race-mile made by Maud S.
The result of this heat caused another
shift in the betting, and before the third
Jack sold at S31 and PalO Alto for 500.
The horses got we'll off, but Palo Alto broke
on entering the turn and also on the lower
end, and Jack had a clear lead Of six
lengths at the quarter. PalO Alto reduced
tl -, l,nlf a 81.
they were nearly together. Palo Alto could
not quite catch the gray gelding, however,
and Jack won by three-quarters Of a length
in 2:1JA.
In spite of Jacks victory, however, Palo
Alto WAS still the favorite before the fourth,
bringing 500 against S72 for Jack. Jack
had little the best of it on the start, but
Palo Alto soon caught him. The son Of
Eleetloneer, however, unfortunately broke
again at the quarter and Jack gained
two lengths On the backstretch PalO
Alto again crawled up on his opponent
but once more broke. The additional
lead thus secured by Jack, however, was
being rapidly overcome and in the turn the
gray gelding broke Tor an instant. He
quickly recovered, however, and was still
two lengths to the good at the three-quar-
ters. Palo Alto kept crawling up on him.
but the CEILINGS lead was too much and
the bay stallion was beaten by a length.
