on even terms, both Ward and Rafour
riding easily. At the seven-eighths pole
the boys began to ride, and Del Mar re-
'sponded TO the whip by rushing to the
front, leading Fairy under the wire with
a foot of daylight between them, in the
splendid time of l:4l1, considering the
weight he carried.
Early in the race Fairy received an in
jury to one of her rear legs, said to have
been caused by an accidental foul on the
part of Del Mar. It is not thought, how
ever, that the injury will be permanent.
