The herald., 1894-05-16

behind were Clifford. the pride Of the
west, and Spowt. in the dust kicked up
BY the others. with no chance of winning
unless 81 the leA4sm fell. A groan went
IN from the thsysanas who had bet on
Clifford, now without even 9 chance OF
hsving 3 run for their money. 1t was
disheartening for tsls owners of the
crack, who had sent him so far for the
Tkce.
VERY LrPTEF JoSThING.
Around the turn they flashed with
very little jostling for so sharp turn
and so narrow a track; and when the
helf.mile mark was reached, and they
were strengthening out for the run
through the back str stch, DR.. Rice wss
o head in trent Of Copyright, and thus
far very few inches ONLY had separated
their noses, as they ram side by side Sc

cred both, Two lengths behind was
Henry of Navarro, head in front OF
Herald. and running essily. Bitten
was still hanging on to fifth place in
good STYLE. while Doggett thought 1t WAS
about time 20 bring Sir Waiter up, and
he was sixth at the hali-mAe. Conan
che was still in seventh plass. Banquet
had fallen back to eighth, and Ajax WAS
beginning to hold out signals OF distress
in the ninth. Bassetlaw and Diablo fol-
lowed, and Sport and Clifford were far
in the rear. unable to gain an inch ON
the flying field.
NAVARRO IN THE LEAD.
They passed the three-q u&Fters mark
with Navarro in the lead, a head in front
of Copyright, with DR.. Rice within
striking distance and Tarsl handling
him in mastery fashion. Sir Walter
was fourth and Bassetlaw WAS becoming
dangerous, for he had moved up five
pegs and looked good for much more.
The romanche was sixth, Banquet
seventh, Diable eighth.
The mile WAS covered by Navarro in
l AZ and he was head in front of DR..
Rice, who had come up. Copyright had
dropped back to sixth place Sir Wall
ter WAS a length behind DR.. Race and
two lengths behind BAsaetlsw, who was
still very much in the race. The others
were running in the order they passed
the three quarters pole and completely
out OF it.
A PRETTY FINISH.
Into the stretch the horses flew, Sir
Walter and Bassetlsw getting whip aud
spur. DR.. Rice began to wear down
the gallant 3-yesr-old, and Clayton was
urging on Navarro to his utmost, but
his horse was stopping last under him.
Bsssetlsw was hanging ON to Sir Walter,
with Comanche close behind. Frantic
yells from the crowd were heard. and
as the watches licked 2:0714 DR.. Rice,
the cast-off from the Gideon Il DAILY
stable, flashed under the wire. length
in front of Henry Of Navarro, with the
great Sir Walter one and one-half
lengths behind and two lengths in FRONT
of Bassetlaw. Comanche was fifth and
the others anywhere, ali in the stretch.
EXCITEMENT AT THE FINISH.
Hats went into the air, and for the
second year in succession Tarsl Was
placed on the floral Jockeys chair and
carried of by the crowd. 1t was true
run race and well won. Lowlander
was not factor in it, and Clifford and
Sport. owing to the faulty start, were
not given a chance to show their work.
Bergen handled Copyright brilliantly.
At the end OF the mile he led Comanche
head and Bergen WAS working like
demon, but WAS forced to give way to
DR.. Rice, Henry OF Navarro and Sir
Z Walter. The spectators we're wild with
excitemsnt. The gallant DIR. Rice.
