MORRIS PARK IN. V, June 2-The
spring meeting of the West Chester
Racing Association was brought to a
close here this afternoon The weather
was fine, and more than 10000 persons
were present. The greatest interest was
centered in the fourth race, for the Bel
mont cup, in which the cracks Hast
ings and Handspring were to meet.
Handspring, who was the favorite, had
the advantage at the start Hastings
was within easy distance of him when
they began the descent of the hill, and
closed up a couple of furlOngs from
home, but in doing so Hastings was
carried nearly to the outer rail Simms
steadied Handspring, however, and
forced him to the front again under Sc
we're punishment. Griffin rode a cool.
patient race. Hastings gradually wore
down his rivals lead, and by one mighty
effort beat him out by a head in the
widest kind of excitement. The stake
is worth $4,000 to the winner, beside
the possession of the Belmont cup,
worth $1,000.
