ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-The Chicago
contingent who came over to play the
great Clifford in to-day's Club Members
handicap have money in every pocket and
credit at the tavern. They made killing
that will be memorable. The 'sbookies'
took money in rolls at even figures on
Clifford, while the st. Louis and Southern
people pinned their faith to Faraday. Lib
ertine had many friends, likewise the
erratic Sumo. In fact every horse in the
race carried good sum OF money, both
straight and place, attracted by faith in
the chances of winning or by long odds.
1t was said that the owner of Faraday
had S25, 600 placed here and elsewhere on
his horse, and it is known that Rose. the
owner of Clifford, had as much as $4,000
up. About 1900 people witnessed the
great event. When the bell sounded the
first in the parade was Clifford, with
Chorn astride him; next came Faraday,
with Turner, then Libertine, with Macklin
up, Prince Carl, with Bergen up, Henry
Young, with a. Clayton up, and Sumo
last, with Garner up.
Books were made long before the usual
time and Clifford was posted an even
money favorite, with the great gray horse
Faraday strong second choice at 8 to 2.
Henry Young was to and the others 10
and II to l. When the regular betting be-
gan Clifford opened at to 5, and his price
huctuated between that and even. Fara-
day opened and closed at . to 1.
The opening and closing in the others
were: Henry Young s, Libertine 10 and 5,
Prince Carl II and 10, Sumo and g. Most
of the money went on Clifford, but all
around the ring were hundreds of bettors
whose faith was in the gray horse, and
they could not be steered off.
For five minutes the horses were at the
post, and after only one breakaway they
got away with Faraday in front and Sumo,
Carl, Clifford, Libertine and Henry Young
in the order named. Passing the stand
Libertine had taken command and was one
and half lengths in front of Faraday,
who was the same in front of Young.
Clifford was in the second division.
Libertine cut out hot pace, and at the
quarter was four lengths in front of Fara-
day and Henry Young, Clifford, Sumo and
Carl in the order named. Libertine was
only two lengths ahead at the half, and
began to show signs of distress. Faradav

Faraday took command at the three
quarters and Clifford had moved into
third place, length behind Libertine,
and this was the position when they
entered the stretch. with Henry Young
beaten off. Up the stretch they thun-
dered and Clifford was given his head.
The great racer responded nobly and
never had either whip or spur He landed
four lengths in front of Prince Carl, who
beat Faraday one length for the place.
When Clifford returned to the Judges

Chorn was called to the stand and placed
within an immense floral horseshoe.
