Starters and Betting.


Thirty thousand pairs of eyes were
glued OH the proudly stepping thorough
bredS as they lined up for the start.
Hume broke ahead of his field and
spoiled what would have been a good
start at the first attempt. Pickpocket'S
testiness was responsible for some fur
ther delay. After several futile at
tempts to get them in line for start.
Starter Rowe got down out of his box
and gave the jockeys good rating. At
the next break Lampiighter, PickpOcket
and Judge Morrow came TO the head of
the stretch without the others.
Finally at 4:19 o'clock the horses got
the flag to an almost perfect start.
Judge Morrow, LeonaWell, Territier and
FidelIo were little in the lead, with
Lampiighter, Charade. Pickpocket, IL
lume and Mars in bunch III the rear.
Terrffcr. true to the DAILY tactics, i'm
mediately shot to the front and set a
clinking pace past the stand and into
the back stretch. Here Leonawell, who
had been struggling for his head, passed
Terrifier and took lead of two lengths.
was an exceedingly pretty one. All OF
the horses were
Running Well Together
and within striking distance of the
leader. At the far turn Leonwell
slightly increased his lead, and shout
went up from his admirers. Their Joy
was short lived, however, for turning
into the home stretch Diablo, Lamp
lighter, Judge Morrow and Hume
moved UP and joined the leader. A
desperate and highly exciting drive en-
sued, the horses running almost head
and head through the stretch. Less
than quarter of a furlong from the
wire Diablo began to draw out, and
soon getting clear OF the others won a
grand race by a length and half.
Lamplighter beat the tired but game
Leonawell neck for fireplace. Hume,
who was fourth, length away, was
Tapped to the withers by Pickpocket
and Charade, who had come from the
rear in the last fifty yards.
Taral, who rode the winner, was
placed on the seat of the floral horse
shoe, aud carried in triumph from the
Judges stand to the paddock. A floral
horseshoe was also placed about the
neck of the winning horse as he was led
from the track. Scarcely ripple of ap-
plause greeted these ceremonies. AS
good as 60 to l against could be obtained
about DiablO's chances in the early
betting. so little were his prospects of
winning the race considered. Straight
mutuals on him, of which only twelve
were sold, paid $294.50. One hundred
and seven bookmakers did business in
the betting ring, but they were utterly
unequal to the task of taking in the
money offered them by the crowd
