Everything was I'm favor Of the match
The weather was perfect, and the track
Il nd
expense had been spared to have the con-
ditions favorable TOR a perfect test of
the merits of the champions. The judges
for the day were: Joseph j. Busken,
presiding judge, and Colonel $. ID. Bruce
ard j. h. Brewster Secretary OF Wash
ngton Park, Chicago, associates.
Marcus Daley and General Jackson,
owner and breeder respectively, OF Tam
many, 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 chaiked
up to 10 against each Of the horses,
and they did not have 10 walt long :or
takers. Betters rushed at them pell
nell, and waved greenbacks frautcally
into their faces IN an endeavor to set
the money on their favorite.
For awhile the odds given remained
steady, but then the crush Of Tammany
money forced the price Of that horse
down and down, until at post time 10
80 was the best price obtainable on his
chances, while as good as II 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 Mt least
$1,000.
The horses were called TO the post at
4:O6 exactly Tammany was the first
to appear, and was soon followed by
Lampighter.
They got away at AIS. and Taral i'm
medlately sent Lamplighter in front
evidently having instructions 20 make
a hot pace. Passing the stand Lamplight-
er was going easily, a length and half
in front but Tammany loped along be-
hind in that long, easy stride so peculiar
10 him. Around the turn they swept
with no perceptible difference between
them. Lampighter'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 n length
Of the brown son OF Spendthrift. They
swept into the stretch. Here Garrison
went TO work on Tammany. In a twink
ling he was on even terms with Lamp
lighter Up went Tarars whip and then
II descended with cruel force on Lamp
lighters quivering muscles. Lamplighter's
beaten,' roared 1000 Threats. Again
and again the whip descended on Lamp
lighter raising cruel welts on his glossy
hide. Tarars spurs were driven with the
energy born OF despair. His efforts were
futile, however. Tammasy drew further
and further away, and fairly romped in,
an easy winner by three lengths in the
fast time Of 2:06 1-2.
A New Match Arranged.
Walbaum was disappointed at the 1T
Of the race, and asked MIR. DAILY II he
would make another match FOR the same
stake, the distance TO be one ana a ha1r
miles. Daily had intended 10 retire MS
horse 10 the stub in the event OF his win
ming to-days match. but he genera isly
gave up this purpose for a time at least,
band agreed to give Malbum another
chance az his horse.
Tammany will concede Lampiighter hye
pounds in the new match.
