down 2S seconds, with Fairview now
five lengths in'frOnt of Russell.
LOngstreet Sueeumbed
to the hot pace and dropped back along
side of Raceland and PeSsara. who were
running easily at RuSSel'S heels. The
jockeys on all the horses behind Fair
view were taking matters easy, being
satisfied that the leader VAS making his
run too soon TO be a contestant at the
finish. Around the lower turn. or at
the end of the three furlongs, Fairview
had further increased his advantage to
ten lengths. DOggeIt was taking no
chances of the others catching him in
the first part of the race, and he de-
pended on good luck to hold his posi-
tiOn to the end if his horse had the nee
esSary speed and gameness.
When well into the home stretch,
Littlefeld, on Russell, became wearied
1T FairvieW'S great advantage, and, cut
ting loose from his companions, Race
land, PesSara, LOngstreet and Judge
Morrow, he set out to catch the flying
Fairview. This move on his part so
early in the race proved fatal, as sub
sequent developments will show. At
the end OF the back stretch he had
reached the leaders shoulder, but Pes
sara, Judge Morrow and Raceland were
also coming up fast. LOngstreet, hav-
ing been killed off by his futile en-
deayOr to catch Fairview in the opening
furlong, dropped back helplessly and
thoroughly beaten. 1t was
A DisgraeefuI Position
for a to 5 favorite to hold so early in
the race, but the idol of the public had
been tried and found wanting, and the
race was seen to lay between Russell
and Judge Morrow, PeSsara and Race
land. On the upper turn, or at the end
of seven furlOngS, Russell held first
place by an open length from Judge
Morrow. Indeed. the Morris candidate
swung in the home stretch good
length and half in front of his COM
petitOrs. His hackers were iubilant,
and threw their hats in the air in their
joyful anticipation of caShing winning
tickets. Russell, however, quit just
where he did last year, simply because
in the right place, and his performance
today again demonstrates the fact.
Maj. CovIngton saved considerable
ground by huggIng the inner rail while
making the turn into the home stretch,
and when he breasted Russell shortly
before reaching the last furlOng post,
which marked the end Of a mile and a
furlong, Russell threw back his ears in
a cOwardly fashion and refused to run
further. COvingtOn. seeming to see
that he had the race at his mercy, be-
came over confident and began easing
up on The Judge. This performance of
the clever little lightweight nearly cost
Morris the Face. as Taral, who had been
unable to get through the bunch before,
came up with
A Tremendous Burst of Speed
under the most vigorous riding. Fer
tunately for MOrrOw'S hackers COving-
ton turned in his saddle and discovered
his danger just in time to prevent Taral
from stealing the race and the stake
from him. A sixteenth from the finish
ing point he sat down and began to ride
the Judge with his hands.
Pessara was slowly but surely gaining
OH him, and he undoubtedly would have
passed him, simply because he was be-
ing more strongly ridden, had not Gov
ington drawn his whip and began to
fog Morrow. In reality he was hitting
PesSara on the nose, and each time the
lash came down PesSara would draw
back his head to escape punishment.
Taral shouted to the lad to stop. but the
youngSter had an old head on his shoul-
derS, and kept right OH smashing Pes
sara over the nose with his whip.
The finish saw Judge Morrow victor
by head. Three lengths away. a bad
third, came Russell, who was the same
distance in front of Raceland. Then
came Clarendon, Banquet, George w,
Kingmaker, Fairyiew. Maidstone, Port
chester and the four to FIVE tavorite,
LongStreet, a diSgraceful last. Maj.
Covington rode a really clever race on
the winner, and when he was placed in
the floral chair and horseshoe that was
presented to the winning jockey by the
association the vast assemblage favored
him with grand salvO of applause and
the lad deserved all the praise that was
heaped upon him by the distinguished
group of tIrfmen surrounding the
Judges stand.
Raceland's poor performance is eX-
planned by the fact that when he re-
turned to the stand after the race it was
seen that his saddle girth had broken,
and Fitzpatrick was minus one of his
StirrupS. There is no excuse for Long
streets defeat. He was run off Of his
feet in an endeavOr to keep up with the
race. The fractional time was: First
quarter. :23: the half. :47% (phenom-
enally fast time); three-quarters, ! IA ;
the mile in :4315,. and the mile and a
quarter in 2:0S5l. The track was dry
oD the surface and damp underneath.
1t was what is known as dead track
that is. totally devoid of elasticity or
SpringineSs.
