GREAT is GAMIN.
He Easily Beat The Rake In the
Wyoming Cup Race.
The favorfte Adam Wins the Hur'
die in a Fine Contest.
Today viii Witness the Eagerly
Expected Polo Game.

When T. W. Brooks beautiful chest.
nut horse The Gamin was ~uublanketed
and sent into the race track for a prehmi.
nary cauter yesterday an admiring buzz
went around in the crowded grand stand.
The horse was in fine tettle, his coat as
sleek as though it were FURNISHED, while
Vim. vigor and vitality we're evident in
every movement.
On the previous evening The Gamin
and The Rake had run a pretty lively
pace in the pool rooms. While the back
ers of the latter were confident the back
ers of The GamIn we're willing to give a
mortgage on all their possessions. In the
pools yesterday the only field afforded
against the two horses named was Mo
rocco, Fizzle having been withdrawn.
This horse of Mr.. CaIrnes' under more
favorable conditions would have proven
a dangerous competitor. But he has only
been of the grass = month and while he
was expected and actually did show great
speed for the halt mile. it was not be-
lieved that he could do anything like pro-
p~ortionately as well for the mile and a
half. 1t may therefore be said that 1.-THE
field" was scarcely taken into oonsidera-
ton except rs 8 means of saving q
plunger through the heavy odds or a
chance for wild speculative on the part Of
those who believed the chapter of acct
dents might have something to do with
the matter and thus give = chance to
scratch in.
Gamin was the big f~avorte in the bet
ting, although the admirers of the trim
built Rake backed their judgment to a
very liberal degree. The horses got off to
a very good start for their three times
around the track. Morocco, as it was ex-
pected. did beautifully for the half and
astonished many OF his admirers by his
game fight to the end. although he was
practically out of it before the mile pole
had been reached. Gamin finished the
mile under a strong pull with The Rake
at his heels and Morocco close up. By
this time the race had grown very excit-
ing and the great audience in the grand
stand watched the course with breathless
interest. In the back stretch of the clos
ing turn Gamin still led by about a head,
but when the turn was made into the home
stretch he was still held well in hand BY
his jockey and was slightly gaining at
every jump. The rider of The Rake
began to ply his whip at this point and
for a rod or two there was . decided
acceleration in his speed but the race was
clearly with The Gamin who steadily
maintained his killing pace which landed
him under the wire a length ahead of The
Rake in 2:51i. The excitement at the
termination of the race was something
phenomenal and the shout which went
up from the grand stand fairly shook the
building. Mr.. Brooks horse had achieved
the great tonor of Whining two cups in one
week, the Cheyenne club cup ON the
opening day and the Wyoming cup, both
of which has now became his personal
property. The Wyoming cup was first
won by Limerick in 1888. Last year it
was captured by Deronda who had by
that time passed from the possession of
Mr.. Goodell into the hands of Mr..
Brooks. As another horse of Mr.. Brooks
stable has won the cup a second time,
under the rules 1t now becomes his per
sonal property. He has we'll earned both
races.
