The day was ono Of the most beautiful Of the
season. tho sun shining brightly In q sky as
blue as the boundless deep. There was just
enough breeze from the Sound to hutter tho
ribbons and stray curls OF the many pretty
women who Graced the grand stand with their
presence. Everybody expected o great race
Tor the ToboRgan Slide Handicap. and tho re-
suit fully equalled the most sanRuine hope OF
Secretary Kock. who, In putting the stake on his
programme, deviated from the beaten path so
closely followed by many racing officials. 1t was
by far the richest event ever given for three
year.olds and upward at elk furlonRs. and IL
was not surprising that twenty OF the 6eetest
sprinters in tho country went to the post.
Strideaway and Fidas were equal favorites at
. 10 l. while the quotations against such flyers
as Blue Rock and Geraldine we're astonishlngly
liberal The race almost from the start lay
between Fidas and Geraldine. the last-named
showing her heels to the field until
sent Fldes along and collaring Geraldine oppo-
site the tower end of the stand. q desperate
race ensued Geraldine stopped perceptibly
when Mccarthy struck her with tho whip, and
Fides had tho prize by length. Blue Rock
easily vanquished the others and was very
close third Strideaway got off last but was ono
OF the dangerous element At the dip by the elm
tree. The pace however. killed him az 1t did tho
others. Sunday the horse from the West that was
said to be a world; heater at his distance and
tory. were never able to keep up the merry
clip Geraldine and Fides set from tho drop of
