THE BIG RACE.
There was some disappointment
when it became known that Shuler had
decided to draw Mark Sirius, the To-
cal favorite, and as klamath was also
drawn, that left only four starters,
Directum, Fantasy, David B and Ken
lucky Union. When these came down
the scratch a little after o'clock
Starter Mccarthy announced that they
had drawn positions in the order
named, and also that the judges, at
the request of all the drivers, had con-
sented to waive distance, so that each
of the four would get a slice of the
money. David B. didn't get into the
breach at all on the first attempt to
score, but on the second he was only
a length back, and Mccarthy sent
them off. Kentucky Union had
shade the best of the pole horse, but
it did not last. Directum and Fantasy
went off like shot. Into the turn
they went together, but the beautiful
bay went off her feet, and when Geers
got her down, not very long, be it
said, she had lost six lengths, and
stood third. At the quarter, however,
she was going nicely, and well she
might, too, for when Directum passed
the first white pole it was just 321a
seconds from the word ''go.''
The California wonder was gliding
along as smoothly as though the pole
had a carriage on it. David was
making good speed behind, but the
queen of them all was making the dirt
fly from her heels at a hair-stirring
rate. At the lone tree, near the fence
which marks the third furlong. Ken
lucky and New York were neck and
neck, and at the half the gap between
Directum and the red named mare was
closing up. 1t was LOSE. Around the
turn they came like two machines, the
hoof-beats rafting like corn out of a
shelter. Into the stretch they were
abreast, 1:39, at least it seemed so,
and as they came down the line the
situation became more apparent and
more thrilling every moment. The mare
had made up every inch of the space
she had lost on the start. Neck and
neck they came before the stand,
Geers and Dustin side by side, but
miles apart. AS they pulled closer to
the wire Fantasy's nose showed ahead
of Directums muzzle. Dustin let the
California speeder out. but he was go
ing the limit, and Fantasy had it by
a neck at the wire. The mile was 2:O9
