St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1894-08-26
as follows


The race was called at 4:20, but delay
at the post seemed interminable. After
fifty minutes delay they were sent
away to good start, Butterflies head
In front OF California. Down the quar-
ter pole they flashed, and. curious to
relate. five tillies were leading the field
and all looked to be going we'll. Butter
flies ahead. The pace was hot aud soon
began to falter. When the half-mile
post was reached Butterflies 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 a head In front of Connolsseur.
Gutta Percha was fourth and California
fifth.
Around the turn into the main track
the youngsters came with mad rush,
and while Butterflies seemed to be 60
ing easily. the others were being urged
to their utmost to catch the fast-fying
6lly.
1t seemed to be all over but the shout
ing, when suddenly a darby wearing a
maroon aud scarlet jacket, astride of a
beautiful chestnut with a blazon face
and white four>feet,
shotOut From the Bunch
behind him and set sail for the appar-
emily easy winner. 1t was Brandywine
coming with the WIND. Griffin heard
the thunder of him behind him. and,
glancing back, saw the streak of chest
nut lightning. with Clayton riding like
mad after him. Thore was no time to
waste now, and down the clever light
weight jockey sat, digging with his
heels and digging for dear life. He
could help his mount but little, for she
was dead now, and every jump Brandy
wine was catching her. Now he was at
her tail; then his white nose was at her
saddle, and Griffin saw it poked under
his eyes, and he had realized that lie
had to ride as hard as he knew how to
land the rich stakes for Gideon & Daily
and win small fortune for the thou
sands who had bet on the filly ne
was riding. Inch by inch the colt
was gaining on him and straining his
eyes for the finish. now only few
yards away. "A few more jumps, and
the finish line was passed byia tired
boy on tired FLY, and the rich stakes
were
Won by a Head.
The crowd cheered the filly, but 1t
would have been cheering the colt had
the race been fifty 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 so
was the trainer, John Hyland, who thus
added one more to The many rich stakes
that they have won this year. Butter
flies is bay filly by Sir Dixon, out of
Mercedes.
