by snapper" Garrison. He ale

Everything was is favor of the

the track was dry and fast. Neither
pains nor expense had been spared to
have the conditions favorable for per-
feet test Of the merits of the champions.
The judges for the day were Joseph j.
Buskell, presiding Judge; Col. S. ID.
Bruce, and J. E. Brewster, secretary Of
the Washington park, Chicago, associa-
tion.
Marcus DAILY and Gen. Jackson, owner
and breeder respectively Of Tammany,
were among the notable persons present.
The crowd scarcely noticed Tammany as
he reached his warming-up gallop, but his
friends were making themselves felt in
the betting ring. Lamplighter received
an ovation. In the betting ring at the
opening the bookies chalked up to 10
against each of the horses and they did
not have to wait long for the takers.
THE START.
The horses were called to the post at
4:06 exactly. Tammauy was the first to
appear, and was soon followed by Lamp
lighter. They got away at AIS. TaraI
1fafa II lfg.l,e
evidently having instructions to make a
hot pace Passing the stand, Lamp
lighter was going easily, length and a
half in front, but Tammauy loaped along
behind in that lengthy, easy stride so PEI
culiar to him.
Around the turn they swept, with no
perceptiable difference between them.
Lamplighter's adherents were shouting
as they went down the back stretch, but
Garrison made no move with Tammany
until the far turn was reached, where he
moved up to within length of the brown
son of Spendthrift They swept into the
stretch. Here Garrison went to work on
Tammany In twinkling he was on
even terms with Lamplighter. Up went
Taral's whip and then it descended with
cruel force on Lamplighters quiyering
muscles.
"Lampligbter is beaten" roared 10, 900
throats. Again and again the whip de-
scended on Lamplighter, raising cruel
welts on his glossy hide Taral's spurs were
driven with an energy born of despair.
His efforts were futile, however Tam
many drew further and further away
and fairly romped in, an easy winner by
three lengths in the fast time of 2:061<.
THE CROWD VERY ENTHUSIASTIC.
The crowd cheered frantically 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
ried him to the weighing scales. Hethen
was placed in huge floral horse
shoe and triumphantly passed be-
fore the grandstand. Walbaum was
disappointed at the result of the
race and asked Mr.. DAILY il he would
make another match for the same stake,
the distance to be IL miles. Mr. DAILY
had intended to retire his horse to the
stud in the event of his winning to-day's
match, but he generously gave up his
purpose for time at least, and egreed to
give Mr.. Walbaum another chance at his
horse Tammany will concede Lamp
lighter five pounds in the new race.
