STRUGGLE FOR THE PRIZE.
Boundless Made His Run in the
Stretch.

SCPetCn.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Then followed a
successien of false starts. and it was
nearly 6 o'clock when the flag dropped,
and it was comparatively but feeble
shout which greeted the event from the
thoroughly exhausted crowd. The start
was not good one. ST. Croix and
Chorister had a slight advantage iii the
the bunch which was out in front, but
Don Alonzo's nose was near by, and
Ingomar was at his girtn. A length
away and half-lengthS apart came
Plutus. Aldebaran. Clifford, Lookout and
johnson, while the rear was fetched
up by Ranapo, BoundleSs. st. Leonards,
OportO, Tyro and Strathrose. AT least
ten lengths separated the leader from
the last horse, but the crowd was in the
main well pleased, for Don AlonZo and
ChOrister were off Splendidly, and Cliff
ford fairly well. Young Ray, on Plutus.
and Miller, Oh Aldebaran, drew whip at
once, and sent their mounts to the front.
In the meantime the hackers Of Don
AlOnZo were Mortified to see the white
and gold tassel disappearing in the
bunch, first one and then another of the
horses passing him, although Lamley
was plainly at work. At the three-quar-
ter pole Plutus had his head in front,
with Aldebaran moving easily by his
side, followed length away by st.
Croix and Ingomar. Then came &. w.
johnson, Lookout and Clifford.
AS the horses rushed down toward
the stand Lookout moved out of the
bunch and was neck in front at the
wire, this being doubtless part of the
instructions from Owner Cushing.
Aldebaran. who was still showing sur
prising strength, was second, length
and half in front of Plutus. behind
whom came st. Croix, q. w. Johnston,
Clifford, Ingomar and Boundless.
StrathrOSe was last, and kept falling
behind until there was ten lengths of
daylight between him and the field,
which was being tralled by Oporto.
In the run from the grand stand to
the quarter pole chestnut colt, with
Jockey in white astride him, could be
seen moving forward in the bunch al
most as steadily as the field was Itself
progressing. There were frantic shouts
from thousands of throats whose possess
ors held tickets on the Keene stable,
for the chestnut colt was st. LeOnardS.
Taral. the Jockey in white, was grasp
ing the bride almost down to the bits,
but he did not seem to be urging the son
of st. Blaise in the least, for the
latter was moving along with the
ing so rapidly that by the
time the quarter pole was reached St.
Leonards was third, only three parts of
length from Lookout and Aldebaran.
This great gain was observed by large
portion of the great crowd, and there
was the widest cheering, amid which
could be heard confused sounds of .'St.
Leonards" and "Chorister." some being
confused as to which of the Keene colts
it was that had made the advance. But
the crowd failed to notice splendid
brown colt that was moving along at
two lengths distance from st. Leon
ards, gaining when he gained.
and running with an ease that
would have caused great Jumps to have
come up in the throats of the holders of
Keene tickets had they carefully noted
it. On this brown colt there was
crouched jockey who never had SUI
perior in the saddle, and he was watch
ing catlike every movement of st.
LcOnardS. 1t was Garrison on Bound
less. The splendid son of Harry OVAL
Ion seemed to be moving under steady
pull. He, too, had made up Emuch
ground coming from the wire, and at
the quarter pole was seventh, Ingomar,
Chorister and e. w. Johnson being
between him and st. Leonards.
Going along to the half, the alert Gar
rison was hindered considerably by In
gomar and Chorister, and kept his
mount back to avoid being pecketed.
In the meantime Lookout dropped out
of the contest, and Aldebaran was lead
ing at the completion of the first mile,
st. Leonards, under gentle pull, being
at his girth, with the stout lngomar a
length away. Chorister and Clifford
were next, but suddenly, as the leaders
were making the far turn, Garrison Oh
Boundless saw the opening he had
been waiting for. and shot his mount
forward with marvellous quickness.
Martin drew the whip and sent Clifford
after him, and at the three-quarter pole
