earnest. and with a little urging Sir
Walter shot away from the others to get
good position to round the upper turn.
He was a length and half away before
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 be-
tween them. Hornpipe was still peg
ging away in third place, but Nanki-
pooh and Clifford had comeup little.
The time to the three-quarterS was 1:11.

AS they rushed around the long upper
turn the pace quickened and Sir Walter
took still larger lead from st. Maxim
while he in turn held his half length lead
on Clifford, and the crowd shouted in
glee at the ffnis of Sir Walter.
There was much disappointment over
the showing of Clifford who did not seem
able to get up with the leaders and SEEM
ed ready to quit. 1t was enough to try
any horse, for twelve and a quarter sec
ondS was the time of the last furlong
the wire. At the mile pole, which was
reached in 1:42la, the leaders were still
running well. in spite of the demands
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 a length and half,
drove it into two, so there would just
be SO much more for Clifford and ST.
Maxim, the horses he feared, to gain on
him in the last few lengths. 1t was a
good thing he did his urging 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 the utmost pounding
the earth in a listless fashion with his
eyes nearly strained out of his head
in the effort to win the prize he was try
ing for so hard. ST. Maxim was tired,
too, but Sims had no mercy and was urg-
ing him with whip and spur as he had
never been driven before. III was useless
for the latter. for Clifford was coming
like whirlwind and was in second place
fifty yards from the finish. Clayton
worked like steam engine 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 specta-
tors who had been working as hard as
the jockeys. settled back in their seats.
