5embed 20 witness the match. The rich
man elbowed the poor man and the tout
jostled the owner and trainer There were
men who came in tally no coaches and
men who came afoot Once t. stream of
humanity began to T9ur Though the
gates it never ceased. There seemed TO be
,uo end to the toiling and struggling null
titude.
Everything wEs in favor Of the match.
The weather was perfect and the track was
| dry and fast Neither pains nor expense
had been spared to have the conditions
| favorable for perfect test of the merits
If the champions.
The 3udges for the day were Joseph j.
Burke, presiding judge, and Colonel 5. N.
Bruce and J. E. Brewster secretary Of
Washington Park, Chicago, associates.
The crowd scarcely noticed Tammary as
\ he received his warming up gallon. but
/
in the betting ring. Lamplighter received
an ovation. In the betting ring, at the
| opening she bookies challced up 8 to 10
against each of the horses, and they did
not have TO wait long for takers. Betters
crushed at them Dell nell and waved green
1 backs frantically in their faces in an eu-
i'deavor 70 get the money on their fRvorite
For while the odds given remained
steady, but then the crush of more Tam
many money forced the price of that horse
down and down, until at post time to
! 10 was the best price obtainable on his
chances, while as good as Il to 10 could be
! obtained all around the ring On Lamp
! lighter. Marcus DAILY, owner of Tam
many, sent a big commission into the
ring. The exact amount could not be
learned, but several well posted book
makers said it amounted TO at least
| $4,000
The bugle-called the horses tn the post
| at 4:l6 exactly. Tammany was the first to
! appear, and was soon followed by Lamp
! lighter They got away at AIS. Taral i'm
| mediately sent Lamplighter in front, evi-
IDENTIFY having instructions to make hot
pace
Passing the stand Lamplighter was go
/ ing easily a length and a half in front.
| Around the tarn they swept with no per
ceptible difference in the distance between
/ them. LampHghter's adherents were shout
4 ing as they went down the back stretch.
Z but Garrison made no move with Tam
many till the far turn was reached, where
! be moved up TO within a length of the
! brown son of Spendthrift
! Then they swept into the stretch Here
| Garrison went 90 work on Tammanv. In
q twinkling he was on even terms with
Lamplighter. Up went Taral' whip and
| then it descended with cruel force on
| Damplighter's quivering muscles Again
and again the whip descended on Lamp
| lighter, raising cruel welts on his glossy
| hide. Tarals spurs were driven with en-
| ergy born of desperation His efforts were
futile, however Tammany drew fnrther
and further away, and fairly romped in an
easy winner by three lengths In the fast
| time of 06}5
The crowd cheered franticallv for Tam
many when he made his great rush
| through the stretch, and when Garrison
returned TO the Judges stand after the
finish they broke through the rails,
! dragged Garrison from his horse and car
rled him TO the weighing scales. He was
then placed in a huge floral horseshoe and
triumphantly p1raded before the grand
stand.
Mr. Walbaum was naturally disap-
pointed at the result of the race, and asked
! Mr. DAILY if hewo1ld make another match,
| for the same stake, che distance to be lIf
miles. DAILY had intended TO retire his
| horse to the stud IN the event of his win
ming yesterdays match, but bee generously
| gave up this purpose, Tor a time at least,
and agreed 20 giye'Mr Walbaum another
chance at his horse. Tammany will CON
cede Lamplghter five pounds iu the new
match
