ST. LOUIS, May 0U.-SelQOm Is
grander race seen than the Memorial
Handicap, run to-day at the fair grounds
before 5000 enthusiasts. And it was
Ray SIS race by little more than an eye
lash. The journey was battle from the
start to the finish, and none was ever
harder fought. Indeed. perhaps none
but an Overton could have taken the
money from Yo Tambien. The betting
closed at ) to l on the favorlte, Ray ). and
Linda being coupled at this quotation,
with Yo Tambien carrying the larger
share of the talents money. Chiswick
and Pellin were 10 to and Logan 20 to /.
The field got off to a good start, with
Ray S. leading. Chiswick secdhd and
Soundmore third. Down past the wire
to the first quarter they went easily,
Logan showing his head. Here 70
Tambien began to work a little harder,
and at the half was in the lead, Chiswick
second, Wildwood third. little more than
heads apart. Overton was saving his
mount. At the three-quarters Overton
had begun to show the effect OF his
previous easy riding. Ray ). came into
the lead strong and moving easily, Yo
Tom bien but head behind. Chiswick
and Soundmore were fighting for third
place. So they ran to the stretch, Chris
Smiths brave mare gaining inch by
inch. Close to the wire they came closer
and closer TO the mare, but the wire was
reached and Ray S. was in the lead by
the scantiest of noses, not six inches
separating the two animals. In the
meantime Soundmore moved up and
beat Chiswick for third place. Three
other favorites won, and the talent went
home happy. In the club member handi-
