attendance. -

Willie Sims was on Eau De Gallie and
made the running throughout. The boy

parative ease At the drop of the flag
Sims was first away and was never headed
The favorite ran almost even with the
American horse, and the latter seemed to
tire bit coming up the hill, and toward
the finish it looked dangerous for the son
of Iroquois But Sims applied the whip
just in time, Eau De Gallie responded
gamely, fairly jumped ahead and captured
the prize

Messrs. Richard Croker and Michael F.
ing, and were early upon the scene. The
American horses had been entered for the
double trial plate for two-year-olds. for
the Crawfurd plate handicap for three
year-olds and upward. and for the ap-
prentices plate for three-year-olds and up
ward. Mr.. Dwyer's Stonell and Harry
Reed had been entered with Eau De Gallie
for the Crawfnrd plate. Harry Reed look
ed mt, but 1t was reported that he was off
his feed.
Mr.. Dwyer is satisfied with the appear
ance and training Of the horses. He says
that they never looked better, but added:
"Of course, the conditions are new to us
and We are pretty heavily handicapped.
| have no idea how We shall show up, but
We ask no favors."
Later In the day Messrs. Crocker and
Dwyer decided to scratch all their entries
but Eau De Gallie in the events to be de-
cided today.
1t Is rather remarkable coincidence
that 1t was the sire of Eau De Gallie, Iro-
quois, that was the first American horse to
win the derby.
