Headed by Napoleon Ives, They
Have Clifford Money in
Every Pocket.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-The Chicago
contingent, headed by Napoleon Ives.
and Roses Cincinnati friends, who
came here to play the great Clifford in
the Club Members handicap, have
money in every pocket and credit at
the tavern. They made skilling"
that will be memorable. The bookies
took money in rolls at even figures on
Clifford, while the st. Louis and
Southern people pinned their faith on
Faraday Libertine had many friends.
likewise the erratic Sumo. In fact,
every horse in the race carried a good
sum of money, both straight and
place, attracted by faith in the chance
of winning or by the long odds. 1t is
said that the owner of Faraday had
$25, 900 placed on his horse, and it is
known that Rose, Clifford's S owner, had
$4,000. About $4,000 people witnessed
the great race. When the bell rang
the first to parade was Clifford, with
Chorn as the rider; next came Fara-
day, with Turner, and then Libertine,
with Macklin up. Prince Carl, with
Bergen; Henry Young, with A. Clay
ton, and Sumo, with Garner up, fol-
lowed in the order named. Books were
made long before the usual time, and
Clifford was posted as even-money ia
vorite, with Faraday second choice at
8 to g. When the regular betting be-
gan, Clifford opened at 4 to 5, and his
price fluctuated between that and even
money. Faraday opened at to 1, and
the price never changed The open
ing and closing in the others was:
IJAt, Q. mr.
Prince Carl, IL and 10; Sumo, 20 and 80.
Most of the money went in on Cliff
ford, but all around the ring were
hundreds whose faith was in Fara-
day. After five minutes at the post
the horses got off, with Faraday in
front and Sumo, Carl, Clifford, Liber-
tine and Henry Young in the order
named Passing the stand, Libertine
had taken command, and was a length
and a half in front of Faraday, who
was the same in front of Young. Cliff
ford was in the second division. Lib
ertine cut out a. hot pace, and at the
quarter was four lengths in front of
Faraday and Young, Clifford, Sumo
and Carl in the order named. At the
half, Libertine was only two lengths
ahead, and began to show signs of
distress; Faraday and Young were
close up, and Clifford next and running
easily Faraday took command at
the three-Quarters, and Clifford had
moved into third place, a length be-
hind Libertine, and this was the posi-
ton when they entered the stretch,
with Henry Young beaten off. Into
the stretch they thundered, and Cliff
oriu
son of Bramble responded nobly, and
never a touch of whip or spur, he
landed four lengths in front of Prince
Carl, who beat Faraday one length
for the place When Clifford re-
turned to the judges stand and Chorn
raised his hand to salute the officers
and receive permission to dismount,
the good horse was cheered again and
again, and then Chorn was called to
the stand and placed within an i'm
mense floral horseshoe.
