contest.
SIR WALTER GAINS.
After the five-eighths pole the ract
began in earnest and with little urg-
ing Sir Walter shot away from the 9th
ers to get a good position to round the
upper turn. He was a length and q
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
with daylight between Hornpipe was
still pegging away in third place, but
Nankipooh and Clifford had come up a
little The time 10 the three-quartefs
was III, the last furlong being run ~
:l3. As they rushed around the long
upper turn, the pace quickened and Sir
Walter took a 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 finish OF Sir
Walter
There was much disappointment over
the showing of Clifford, who did not
seem able 10 get up among the leaders
and seemed ready to nit. 1t was enough
10 try any horse, for 1214 seconds was
the time Of the last furlOng and there
was still three furlOngs 10 go. Al the
mile pole. which was reached in 1:4z1a,
the leaders were still running well N
spite of the demand made upon them,
and willing 10 stand the drive which
was sure TO come.
TARAL TAKES HIS CUE.
Taral was the first 10 begin pun:shing,
He saw Sir Walter was ready to stop,
end in spite Of his lead Of q length and
a half, drove IL into two, so there would
Just be 50 much more FOR Clifford and
St Maxim. the horses he feared, to gain
on him in the last few seconds. II was
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 20 his utmost, pounding the
earth in a listless fashion, with MS eyes
nearly strained out Of his head in the
effort to win the prize he was trying for
20 hard. ST. Maxim was tired, too, but
Sims had no mercy and was urging him
with whip and spur as he was never
driven before. It was useless for the
latter for Clifford was coming Ike
whirlwind and was in second place fifty
yards from the finish. Clayton worked
like a steam engine and was sOonat Sir
Walters girth. Inch by inch he pushed
mis- horse ahead, as they passed the
judges he was only a. short head be-
hind Sir Walter, and the specta tors who
had been working as hard as the jock
eys, settled back in their seats, only To
rise again as the victors came back TO
the stand, to break forth into pande-
mOnium Of cheers.
