The judges for the day were Jos. J. Burke
presiding Judge. and Col. s. ID. Bruce and
j. E. Brewster, secretary Of Washington
Park, Chicago, associates. Marcus DAILY
and Cen Jackson, owner md breeder re-
spectively Of Tammany. were among the
notable persons present.
The crowd scarcely noticed Tammany as
he received his warming-up rallop, but his
friends were making themselves felt in the
betting ring. Lamplighter warmed up in
his colors. and received an ovation. In the
betting ring, at the opening. the bookies
chalked up to 10 against each of tho
horses. and they did not have TO wait long
for takers
For awhile the odds remained steady
but when the crush of 'rammany'S 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 II to 10 could be obtainad all
round the ring on Lamul.ghter. Marcus
DAILY. owner Of Tammany. sent a big com
mission into the ring. The exact emout
could not be learned, but several well-post-
ed bookmakers said 1t amounted to at least
5000
The bugle called the horses to the post at
4l6 exactly. Tammany was the first to APP
pear and was soon followed by Lamplight-
er. They got away at AIS. Tara imme-
diately sent Lamplighter IN front, evidently
having instructions to make a hot pace.
Passing the stand Lampliyh.er was going
easily, q length and half in front, but
Tammany lOped along behind in the long.
easy stride peculiar TO him.
Then they swept into the stretch. Here
Garrison went to work On Tammany. In q
twinkling he was on even terms with Lamp
lighter. Again and again The whip descend
ed on Lamplighter. raising cruel welts On
his glossy hide.
Tarafs spurs were driven with the ener-
gy born of despair. His efforts were futile
however. Tammany drew further and fur
ther away, and fairly roinpeI in an easy
winner by three lengths IN the fast time OF
2:06 1-2.
The crowd cheered frautlcalIy 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 carried him to the weighins
scales. He was then placed in a huge fCral
horseshoe and triumphantiy Iaraded before
the grand stand.
Mr.. Walbaum was naturally disappointed
at the result Of the race AID asked Mr.. DAILY
If he would make another match for the
same stake. the distance to be one and one
half miles, MIR. Daily had inten led TO retire
his horse to the stud in the event cf his
winning yesterdays match. but he gener-
ously gave up this purpose, for the time at
least. and agreed to give Mr. Walbaum
another chance at his horse. Tammany will
concede Lamplighter five pounds in the new
match.
