fore Sims took ST Maxim in hand, and
sent him after Taral and his mount.
In five seconds both were going at
about the same rate of speed,
ONLY DAYLIGHT BETWEEN
Hornpipe was still pegging away in
third place, but Nankipooh and Cliff
ford had come up a little. The time
to the three-quarters was III, the last
furlong being run in O:l3.
AS they rushed around the long up
per turn, the pace quickened, and Sir
St. Maxim, while he, in turn, held his
half length lead on Clifford, and the
crowd shouted in glee at the finish of
Sir Walter. There was much disap-
pointment over the showing of Clifford
who did not seem able to get UP with
the leaders, and seemed ready to quit.
1t was enough to try any horse, for
1914 seconds was the time of the last
furlong, and this was still three fur
longs to go. AT the mile pole, which
was reached in 1:4211z, the leaders were
still running well, in spite of the de-
mands upon them, and willing to stand
the drive which was sure to come.
Taral was the first to begin Furnishing
He saw Sir Walter was ready to stop,
and in spite of his lead of length
and a half, drove it into two, SO there
would just be so much more for Cliff
ford and st. Maxim, the horse he
feared, to gain on him in
THE LAST FEW SECONDS.
1t was good thing he did his urg-
ing then, for Clayton had at last made
up his mind to see what his mount
was made of, and, with whip and
spur, drove him at the leaders. Sir
Walter was staggering along, urged to
his utmost. pounding the earth in
listless fashion, with his eyes nearly
strained out of his head in the effort
to win the prize he was trying for so
hard. st. Maxim was tired, too but
Sims had no mercy. and was urging
him with whip and spur as he has
never been driven before. 1t was use
less for the latter, for Clifford was
coming like a whfrlwind, and was in
second place fifty yards from the fin
ish. Clayton worked like a steam en-
CINE and was soon at Sir Walters
girth.
INCH BY INCH
he pushed his nose ahead, and as they
passed the judges he was only short
head behind Sir Walter. and the spec
tators who had been WORKING as hard
as the jockeys, settled back in their
seats. only to rise again as the victors
came back to the stand, to break forth
into a pandemonium of cheers.
In the opening race The Swain won
by head from Zanone in a hard
drive. Septour had no difficulty in
winning the second race. Lfthos won
the expectation stakes from George
Kessler, after hard drive at the end.
Don Bias had little trouble in getting
the fifth event. Race sixth went to
Lehman with ease. and the seventh
went to Scottish Chieftain.
Hart was fined $50 for disobedience
in the expectation stakes. Sims $50
for the same offense in the handicap,
and T. Sloan was suspended for
week.
