Louisville Ky. May H.-For the third
time during the meeting at Churchill
Downs. Willie Simms, by superior jockey
snip has snatched a victory from the
,,,ys of defeat and winning to-day
match race beween Cleophus and Suisun.
There was no favorlte in the match
as each horse had its hackers and the
crowd was evenly divided. With hardly
any delay at the post they got off to a
very fair start. Suisun jumped to the
f.ou, and led by a length and hat TO
within 100 yards of the wire, bounding
with a greyhound-like action and the big
chestnut laundering along behind her.
AT this point Bum began TO whip and
had he kept il up the finish would have
been Suisun by a length. But he paused
for a moment and Simms, who had never
ceased plying the whip, passed Suisuns
flank. then her saddle girth and throat
latch, and won the race by scant head.
So many people are still OF the opinion
that Suisun is a better FLY than Cleophus
that Secretary Price of the Louisville
Jockey Club stated tonight that he Will
endeavor TO bring about another matcn
between the pair before the meeting
closes.
