NEW YORK, June 2.-Attendance at
Morris park today was large and the
enthusiasm over the Belmont stakes,
in which Hastings beat Handspring
by a short head, was greater than has
been witnessed at the park for many
day. This was an event which had
been looked forward to with the great
est expectation by the turf men and
race-goers. Twice before had these
cracks met and each had won vic
tory, as a 2-year-old Hastings had
beaten the Dwyer horse by a long
margin, and only q short time ago,
Handspring crossed the wire in front
of the Belmont colors after a hard
struggle. Even now when the rubber
has been won, no one is able to say
to whom belongs the 1aurels. In this
race, four went to the post, but only
two were considered in the betting.
If-,~,, ol1
The start was prompt, Handspring
taking the lead over Belmont's horse,
which is slow beginner, and was kept
under a double wrap by Sims. The
first half was run in the slow time of
So seconds, and even as they mounted
the hill the Dwyer colt was kept from
going out. Meanwhile Hastings had
gained somewhat on his rival, about a
length and half showing between
them at the three-quarters. They
reached the mile post in 1:491a.
Then Sims gave Handspring his head
and for the moment the big chestnut
swerved. Hastings came up and then
began one of the greatest races ever
seen. They ran almost locked during
the last three furlongs, going the dis
lance in the remarkably fast time of
351s seconds. Hastings gradually wore
down his rival and passed under the
wire with his head in front, amid the
shouts of 10000 people. Griffin who
had the mount won a clever race
