DELAT AT THE POST.
Tbs race was called at 4 20, but the
delay at the post seemed interminable.
Break after break was made. After so
minutes delay they we're sent away to
a good start, Butterflies ahead in front
of California. Down to the quarter
pole they flashed and, curious 20 re-
late. the five tillies were leading the
field, and all looked to be going well,
Butterflies ahead. The pace was hot,
and some began to falter.

terf,es had lead of two lengths and
Griffin was looking back at the others
and easing his mount. Agitator, under
the strong urging OF Taral, had come up
to second place and was ahead in front
and California fifth.
Around the bond into the main track
they came with a mad rush, and while
Butterflies seemed to be going easily,
the others we're being urged to their ut"
most TO catch the fast flying flly. 1t
seemed to be all over, but the shouting,
when suddenly darkey, wearing
maroon and scarlet jacket, astride OF a
beautiful chestnut with white blaze on
his face and four white feet, shot out of
the bunch benind and set sail for the
apparently easy winner. 1t was Brandy
wine coming with the wind. Griffin
heard the thunder of his hoofs and
glancing back saw the streak OF chestnut
lightning with Clayton, riding like mad,
after him.
NO TIME TO WASTE.
There was no time to waste now, and
the clover lightweight jockey began dig.
ging with his heels and riding for dear
lie. He could help his mount little,
for she WAS tired now, and with every
Jump Brandywine WIS catching her.
Now he was at her tail, then his white
uose was ut her saddle. and Griffiths
SAW it ed under his eyes, and he
realized that he had to ride sa hard as
he knew how to land the rich stakes for
Gideon & DAILY and win small fortune
for the thousands who had bet on the
FLY he wss riding. Inch by inch the
colt was gaining on MIN, and he was
strsining his eyes for the finish, now
only few yards away. A few more
Jumps and the finish line was passed by
a tired boy on tired filly, and the
rich stakes were won by head.
CHEERS FOR THE WINNER.
The crowd chesred the tilly, but it
would have been cheering the colt ad
the race been 30 yards further. There
was plenty of cheering for Griffin when
he came back to be weighed and all the
way to the paddock he WAS carried in
floral Jockeys chair. Gideon " DAILY
were happy, and 30 was the trainer,
John Hyland, for this added one more
to the MANY rich stakes they have won
this season.
