at the same place at the finish, the
crowding process was duplicated amid
wild shouts of derision from specta-
tors. By an almost superhumau eff
fort, Amarino answered the whip,
cut across the stretch and won the
race in spite of the most disrepu-
table display of jockying ever known
on the track here Orelsewhere. Stan
ford had clear run all the way, but
couldn't win. Time made by Anna
rino, 2 :43 As. McAuliffe was fined

came near resulting in free fight,
Cornwell claiming that the judges
decision was out of all reason and re-
fusing to pay the fne. There was
considerable feeling expressed over
the matter, the excitement incident
to it causing young lady spectator
to become hysterical.
