Chicago TO ride Domino in the American
derby. His face was wreathed in smiles,
as he had won the triple event and in
good style.
Two Joskeys Fined.
A quarter before o'clock and the
twelve horses which were to contest for
the valuable prize were all at the post
at the end of the chute, waiting for the
signal to be OF. Several times they
broke away and one or two were left.
Once there was a beautif IL start spoiled

nothing to do with the others, kicking
and plunging about and trying TO give
his contestants a taste OF his heels. Ber-

was sent by the starter and in conse-

meeting and fined $500. COmanche was

Rowe got down on the ground and
tried his luck from that point. In the
second break he caught them all in mo-
lion and sent them away in a fine start,
with ESinglet in the lead. closely followed
by Henry of Navarro, Pickpocket, Ban
puet, Comanche, RamapO, Sir Walter and
the others. Past the grand stand they
flashed with Griffin urging Kinglet to the
Utmost and with the positions of the
pthers but slightly changed. The first
quarter was run in % seconds and then
kinglet had length the best of it, while
Banquet. with all his weight, was taken
Into second place by Simms, only half a
length in front of Ramapo, on whom
Faral had a gentle pull. The willy
Dutchman could see then that Banquet
WAS the horse he had to beat, for he
WAS going well and seemed TO like the
pace hot as il was. Half a length be-
hind him was Pickpocket. still a con-
lender, and for a wonder he was not

much was expected. dropped back into
nth place. King Lee close behind and
Sir Walter following, with Sport abso-

KfngIet Leads at the Half.
The half-mile pole was passed by the
flying Kinglet in 80 is seconds. but he
was only three parts of a length in front
OF Banquet and was already hanging
out signals of distress. Banquet was
still half length ahead Of the next
horse, but it was Pickpocket, who had
changed places with RamapO and looked
exceedingly dangerous.
Henry of Navarro was still fifth. but
eould not get any nearer TO the flying
leaders. The others were changing places
like the glasses in a kaleidoscope and in
the mix-up Sport had got up into tenth
place. AT the three-quarters Banquet
passed the pole first in lis 10, leading
kinglet by a head. Simms having made
up his mind to let out a link two.
Kinglet was then two lengths ahead of
Pickpocket, who was still going strongly,
he in turn two lengths ahead of Ma
Sarre. Taral having let the three-year-
old pass him at that point.
The time 10 the mile-post was 1:41 and

had got the first place by head from
Banquet. but it was the last effort Of
badly tired horse. Sport was beginning
40 show some life and was up in the
eighth place, running strongly and very
much IN the contest. PickpoCket was
stin third, but by only head over
Henry Of Navarro, he in turn being a
neck in front Of RamapO, on whom Taral
was beginning TO ride.
2 Into the Stretch.
q Then came the turn into the stretch.
and Look at Sport was the cry. for
Thompson took him around next the rail
and he was cutting down the others in a
most remarkable fashion. Taral heard
fhe thunder of Sports heels close be-
hind him, as did Simms on Banquet, and
they woke up TO the fact that the rogue
twas coming down the stretch like a
Fhunderboh and was fighting like grim
death for at least a part Of the money.
( Kinglet quit Immediately and took no
further interest IN the contest. Pick
pocket had had enough of il, too. and he
Idropped back without a murmur. Sport

with lots Of run left in him and it was
Apparent that the finish would lie be-
tween Ramapo, Banquet, Sport and King
Lee.
I TaraI was riding for dear life. with
banquet still a long distance in front,
but he was gaining a few inches with
every jump, while Sport was hanging on
altogether too well to suit either Simms
ior Taral The three ran close together
until the last fifty yards, when the per-
isistent spurring and fiOgging of Taral

Banquet's nose was beside him and IL
was all over. The game gelding was not
equal TO the emergency and he had TO
sbe content with second place, two lengths
in front Of Sport King Lee got fourth
