q less wonderful horse last Tuesday. How
the race was lost and won is thus described,
and truly SO, by the jockeys who rode in the
race this year. McDermott. the rider of the
winner. said:
II thought I had some sort Of an outside
chance for the place." he said, "but never
dreamed OF winning. I thought that Lamp
lighter was the surest thing had ever known.
1t seemed crazy to try to class Lowlander with
these horses. I made up my mind that the
only chance had was to drive Lowlauder out
at the start and not let ANYTHING reach his head
until he was beaten. But before we had gone
furlong found that had the foot OF every
thing in the race and had nothing but Bill
Daly's horse to beat. From the seven-furlong
pole home I found I had a picnic. Low
lander 10 better than thought"
Sims was unable to explain Lamplighter's
form. "From the first furlong." he said, 81 had
to drive him, and kept at il all the way to the
finish. Maybe the weight stopped him, but he
there was no jostling, no fouling. Every one
had O clear course"
"what beat me?" said Taral "why. 2oeJS
beat me. Pessara went well for six furlongs
and then was out Of it. Can't make out what
was the matter with LAmplighter. He was as
slow as . corpse"
81 was we'll up with the leader. and at seven
furlongs felt like a winner" said Hamilton,
''then fddesleigh was beaten"
Il think I'd have won II Patsy hadn't
crossed me. said Jimmy" Lambley. "Ter-
rifer was . good horse today
The elder Lambley, when asked to describe
Banquets running, replied with q torrent Of
vile epithets directed against the press gener-
ally and racing reporters in particular
"At the top Of the stretch Hasbrouck was
going strong and thought I'd win" remarked
Bergen. Then, at the furlong, he cracked
The pace settled him"
Lowlander has history Of his own almost as
checkered as that Of his owner. Fred Lowe.
His dam, Restless, was bred to Lowland Chief
in England, and was then imported to this
country by Tattersalls Of New York, repre-
sented by William Easton. Mr.. Easton sold
Lowlander and the now well-known Bitten to
Mr.. Clark Maxwell, young sportsman Of Nir-
ginia, and they were placed in the hands OF W.
B. Gipin, one Of the owners of Sport, the best
three-year-old Of the year, to be trained. Mr..
Maxwell was not successful in his racing ven-
ture, and, it is said, mortgaged his horses to
the Tattersall company, who in due time fore
closed on him and sold the horses by auction.
1t was thus that Lowlander passed into the
hands OF Fred Lowe. Bitten went to r. Brad
ley, and has won forty races and almost as
many thousands Of dollars for the tall turf
man whose horses are ALWAYS out to win.
LowlSnder 10 . small brown horse, plain and
unattractve, out ne mas speed OF wonderful
degree, and with about 100 or los pounds up

to . mile and an eighth. Until Tuesday mile

bility. He is trained by Charles OK Of
Brighton Beach. who told McDermott as be
put him in the saddle before the race:
"Patsey. they will have to run in 2.06J< to
beat you today"
