hoped that his wonderful burst of speed
will carry him to the front in the
stretch. II is false hope. however, for
on the turn for home he falters. Muir
ply then tries the whip. The famous
burst of speed is not there. and the
favorite is beaten. AS they turn into
lead i'll a dogged fashion, but Bergen is
whipping and so are all the others. The
crowd is yelling like mad and the jockeys
are whipping and spurrlng like demons
Loantaka slowly but surely cuts down
the lead, and twenty yards from home
IS on even terms with Major Domo.
Martin, the jockey OH Domo, glances
despa!ringly at the black colt so surely
forging ahead, and he makes one deS-
perate effort. 1t is useless now, for
Bergen is at work like a machine. I'm
der his efforts the noble beast under him
rouses himself. and amid the cheers of
the assembled thousands Loantaka shot
across the line, winner by length
and half in 2:07 MAJOR Domo man
aged to last long enough to get the
place from Cassius. A length away
came Fitzjames. who was followed in
order by Banquet, Tenny, Riley, De-
muth, Isaac Lewis and Tea Tray, whose
abomlnable temper had prevented him
from making better showing.
