ROrk was fttingly capped by the grand
performance of L0ngfellOW'S grandson,
Donatello. the clean-limbed. brlght-eyed
chestnut that carried Fitzpatrick to vic
tory Wednesday last.
DERBY day furnished an suspicious
augury of what was TO follow. and the
succeeding days have served to whet
the appetite OF all lovers of good horses
and those outside of them who like the
excitement of Watching well-bred, game
and handsome racers Struggllngt 10 push
a nose. a neck, a body length beyond
their fellows when passing the men
whose judgment means money and rep
utatiOn for horse and owner.
The first race Wednesday was won
quite as easily as the knowing ones eX-
pected by Marion c, Harry OFallon's
chestnut daughter, who beat Hagen
with very little effort. Nellie Pearl, a
FLY from the lOinS of ITOquOs. took the
second race, five furl0ngS, with never a
touch of the whip. although many good
Judges put their money on HlSpaula,
the fleet bay lassie of Hindoo lineage.
The heat race, three-quarterS OF mile,
fell TO Trust, the aged son of Ten
Brock. Louisa NJ took the first heat by
half length, the second was Trusts by
a short head in Furnishing passage at
the wire, and the blood and stamina of
LOngfelIOW's race carried him to victory
In third in handy style. The" Darby was
next on the card. and five well trained
and time-prOYed flyers paTaded when
the bngie gave the call. Ethel, by Long
fellow. good to look at and a winner for
beauty, was the only filly in the lot, and
many a dollar jingled in pockets of
bOOkies that was laid OH her by loyal
friends. with no regret for the financial
loss. DOnatellO, bright as a star, hand
some. proud and confident as became
son of laurel-cTOWned Ten Brock, was
the favOTite, and FitZI atrick in the sad
die wide awake and up TO every trick
of position and pace, lent added conf
dence to the fretting thousands who
struggled to get their green, white or
gold on a ticket bearing the name Of

to view a race once and half around,
that meant far more than the 5000 that
the tiecteSt and trueSt could win. Little
attention was paid to position till the
mile had tired out Jugurtha and Pom
fret. Then Bonnie Dundee sailed for
the front and DUnatellO took the place
he wanted. Ethel was cOarteOusly given
the post Of honor entering the stretch,
but the chestnut beauty that Siipaway
foaled was touched by his great riders

before Dundee, with EthePs breath
blowing the dust from his heels, was
the way the winner went under the
wire. and another Twin City Derby was
tipped to Time in 2:3915. The last race
of the day helped out many of the
losers on preceding contests. Sympa-

noble LeOnatus.
Thursdays races were won like this:
Yale '9l took the first event, mile, by
a nose, from Guido: the second, mile
and a fuTlOng, went to Take Notice
without push: Carlsbad won the Min

Jugurtha won the first event on Fri

and Eli Kindig won the last race. mile
and a furlOng, from Ed Leonard, by a

DOnatelIo again proved his quality in
the fourth race on Saturdays card.
With 127 pounds up, he defeated LO-
doWic, POmfret, Hagen, Dundee and
Jugurtha in the wonderfully fast time
of 2:23. The distance was a mile and
three-eighths, for which the best time
is 2:20I. This is undoubtedly the best
performance of the year. and is proof
that Ireland Bros horse is better than
the record under favorable circum-
stances. In his present form there is
probably no three-year-old living that
can class with him six days in the week.
