THE RECORD SMASHED.
Guido Cuts the HamIine Mark to
1:4OSl.

The next race of a mile for all ages
was electrical. 1t was the hottest fin
ish that has been witnessed this season,
and it set the 1900 ladies into a state of
excitement that was pardOnable. There
were a lat of long shots in the party, but
they hadn't the ghost of a show for a
place. Princess Limo became a hot tip
before the bugle sent the performers to
the post, and the betting on this chest
nut daughter of Prince Charley and
Limo changed from a to l shot to to
l, and big rolls of money went into the
bOOkmakers' pockets at such odds. TIE
stable boys and the 'JOcks" thought
Yale '91, with .IO4 pounds up, was a good
thing, but the old reliable Guido was
the favOrite, and the money of
the conservative spectators went
there. He carried top weight, Of
course. but weights will not kill a good
horse on a fairly good track. Lillian
Lindsay, the winner of purse last Fri
day, carried next weight, and she was
played some. She looked drawn a little
too fine, but her exploits on this track
the past two seasons were sufficient to
Undue confidence. Then her proud
HindOO-Delight lineage added to her
reputation. and all this contributed to
the excitement in the betting ring.
The candidates acted wretchedly at
the post. Each fought for an advantage
with inSistent determination. almost eX-
nausting Starter Bruce's patience.
They finally got on. and Lemoine II
set the pace around the turn and down
to the last turn. 1t was rapid dip, and
all were we'll together the most of the
distance except Red Sign and Comedy.
Guido came second under a gentle pull.
Fitzpatrick rode with utmost confidence.
The weights did not distress the Su-
perb animal. and a hot pace is what
always makes the race the more certain
for him. His bright blue cOlOrs fol
lowed close in the track of the old gold
and black and white Of Lemolne II, up
to the thTee-quarteTs. when Fitzpatrick
discovered that Porter was sending
Yale '91 for everything he was worth.
Then he urged the noble Guido to eX-
tend himself. and it was a battle royal
the balance of the distance to the wire.
Yale 81 took the third place at the
start, just behind Guido. and slightly III
advance of Lillian Lindsay. At the
half and running down the back stretch
Lillian made a rush and came up on
even terms with Yale, who was still
third. This movement is what Stlmu-
lated Porter to let out another link.
He recognized an element Of dan
ger in the beautiful bay tilly,
who seldom has been visited with de-
feat at Hamline. Guido had been
pushed up even with Lemoine, put
Fitzpatrick pulled the colt in again and
Lillian Lindsay showed first into the
stretch. shooting for the center OF the
track. Guido darted for the pole with
Yale right on his saddle. Every ami
nal took the whip with valOr and it
was the most sensational finish that
could be. The 1000 ladies rose, as If by
magic, from their seats and in ecSLatIc
10y they cheered their favored on to
greater execution. The horses came
sweeping down like the wind. Guido
had passed Lillian Lindsay and Yale '9l
was still tapping. Fitzpatrick found 1t
impossible to shake of the determined
OnOndagO Representative with his light
weight. 1t was a whipping finish and
both horses came under the wire
with every muscle and every
nerve bent TO the task. Guido won by
the shortest nose. Had not the two
racers been so close together 1t would
have been dif1cult 10 place them, but
they ran within touch of each other.
Lillian Lindsay had not been idle mean
while. She perhaps flew down the
stretch as fast as either most OF the dis
tance, but it was a killing pace. At the
three-Quarters post she was six lengths
behind the leaders. She beat her way
into the stretch and showed first cOlors
there. She was a close third
