result was a complete surprise, only one
of the horses that was well supported
in the ring, finishing among the leaders.
Lazzarone got the place, and Sir Walter
was third. The last named was in active
demand ON the future books and was
heavily backed on the track.
Hornpipe and Lazzarone opened with
20 to / obtainable against each today,
and closed Is to l. Ramapo and DR..
Rice were first favorites during the early
quotations The conditions were: !:

The II candidates got to the post on
time. There were five false breaks be-
fore they got the signal to depart. HSir
Walter showed lightly III front OF the
fell and then gave way to Assignee who
set killing.pace for The first sixfurlongs
and then aroppd cut of the race, Sir
Walter, who had been in a good possit-
ion all the way, then reasumed COM
mand. DR.. Rice attempted to close upon
him. but soon had enough. At the far
turn every one was crying Sir Walter,
and then the shout, Look at Ed
Kearney" arose. This cratic brute was
moving up to Sir Walter. All at once
Penn appeared to be in trouble and
Ed Kearney began to swerve, stagger
about and dropped back to the rear. This
was as they weie rounding ,the far
turn. Penn had lost stirrup and in
trying to control Ed Kearney he inter
,fered with DR.. Rice and Ramapo. Meth
er suffered much through the Jostling as
both were beaten when it occurred.
Another big change took place when
they were half way around the upper
turn. Lazzarone who mad been In the
rear range, began to thread his way to
the front with phenomenal burst of
speed and he collared Sir Walter as they
swung into the home stretch. Doggett
at once went to the whip. Sir Walter
responded nobly and again his name
rang in the air. Lazzarone came in again
and was promptly challenged by Horn
pipe, who crept up almost unobserved.
A desperate struggle ensued, but the
task was too great for Lazzarone and he
faltered under the fierce attack of the
whip and spur. This cost him the race.
Hornpipe, running true to the last gasp,
won by good neck. His time was Eli
Ia.
and half for place. Counter Tenor,
three-year old, who, beginning at SO
to /, was ridden around the field
as if he were polo pony. was fourth.
In the hands of a capable jockey, this
colt would have given Hornpipe an argu-
ment Rey Ell Santa Anita, who was kept
in the race until the stretch was reached,
flattered his hackers for few strides
only. DR.. Rice, Ramapo and Rubicon

race afterwards, Murphy said when he
began to move up with Lazzarone he got

to rush him to the trout at once. Hamil-
