Ramspo. Sir Walter and the others. Past
the grand stand they flashed. with Griffin
urging Kinglet to the utmost and with the
positions OF the others but slightly changed.
The first quart.r was run in twenty Ave
seconds, and then Einglet had a length The
best Of it, while Banquet was -aken into
second place by SiInms. only half a length
In front Of RaTaIo, on whom laral had a
gentle pull Tsral could see that Banquet
was the horse he had to boat. for he was
going we'll and seemed to like the pace. hot
as ii was. -.
The three. ear-old, of which so much was
expected. dropped back into fifth place.
King Lee Gle be behind and Sir Walter fol-
lowing. with Sport absolutely last.
The half-mile pole was passed by the fly
ing Kinglct in 50 Is seconds. but he was
only three parts Of a length In 'front.' OF
Banquet. and was already in distress Ban
Quet was still half a length ahead of the
next horse, but 1t was Pickpocket, who had
changed places with Ramapo and looked
exceedingly dangerous

pole frst in Lie is. leading Kinglet by "a
head. Einglet was then two lengths ahead

Griffin's strong urging. haC got the lirst
kmglets last effort Sport was beginning
to show some life and was up in the eighth
place. running strongly and very much in
the contest. Pickpucket WAS still third, but
by only 4 head over Henry Of Navarro.
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 remark
able fashion. Teral heard the thunder of
Sports heels close behind him, as did
Simms on Banquet. and they woke up to
the fact that the rogue was coming down
the stretch like a thunderbolt
Pickpocket had dropped back.
Taral was riding for dear life, with Ban
quet still 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 or Taral. The three
ran close together until the last fifty yards,
when the persistent squirting and hoggins
Of Taral gradually drove Ramapo a length
in front, Banquet second, two lengths In
front of Sport. King Lee got fourth by
four lengths from Henry of Navarro. Pick
pocket was sixth, Sir Walter seventh. and
the rest trailing behind. some Of them pull
ed up.
