Handspun being the most fancied OF the
others: Every owner who sent q csndi-
date To the post thought that his horse
had a chance. and as the race was worth over
s3l 900 to the winner, IL was n contest worth
while taking a chance in. B~randywine had
shown high form in the Futurity. when he ran
second TO Butterflies, and Agitstor's third In the
same race was also a creditable performance.
They were considered higher class than any OF
the colts they were meeting yesterday, and the
bulk Of the money went on them.
There was a delay OF more than half an hour
at the post before the nag fell for a fair start,
with Handspun, California, Brandywine, and
Agitator in the front ranks. Agitator had the
speed OF the party from the very start, and after
the first furlong he was not headed, opening
a wide gap on his competitors in
the hollow, and winning in tile most
clever fashion by two lengths. The
race for the place was a good one, Handspun,
Salvation, and california finishing necks apart

OF the black horse clinging 70 the
fence as he sped up the backstretch
half a length before Henry OF Navarro, with
Clifford a length behind. Tn onicial time for
the first furlong was 1874 seconds. and AS the
nag flashed at the pole as they passed, Henry Of
Navarro had moved up TO the black horses
shoulder. and Simms had taken Clifford In be-

Like q team Domino and Henry OF Navarro
flashed TO the first quarter pole in PAN seconds,

race could not help sdmiring the grace and
beauty OF the three-year-old. He was longer,
handsomer. smoother in mske-up. and more
racy in appearance than Clifford, but the four
year-old had his friends, and they were loyal
to him..
Domin was the last TO reach the post, and
naturally, being the favorite. the applause was
loudest for him as he cantered past the stand.
But It must not be inferred from this that the
greeting accorded to Henry of Navarro and
Clifford was only half hearted. Genuine en-
thusiasm was evoked. by this pair as they
stepped out Of the paddock and upon the track
which was to bring glory to one OF them and
many dollars TO the pockets Of his hackers.

Domino had the rail, while Clifford was on the
outside, and as they scored up for the start OPP

OF the riders strove to secure even the slightest
advantage. Simms was a trife slow with Cliff
ford and pulled him up twics when he saw that
Domino and Henry, Of Navarro, had the jump
on him. At the third break II looked as though
Clifford would not start. and Taral and Clayton
had gathered up the reins and were slackening
their horses when the four-year-old ranged
alongside. They were some thirty or forty yards
away from the starter, and, as there was ample
time for them TO get into the stride before
reaching him. Mr.. Rowe called for them to come
on and lowered his flag.
