THE COMMONER DANGEROUS.

The start for the great race was prompt
and good. Belmar was the first to break
the even line. He quickly yielded the post
of honor to HoTnpipe. At the upper turn
Hornpipe took commanding lead. lie
was joined by the Commoncr.
As they swung into the back stretch
the Cummoner headed Hornpipe. This

the most forward OF the others. There was

Henry of Navarro. who had Hornpipe ana
Clifford at his WitherS. The wcIgnt and
pace had began to tell upon Sir Waiter
aud he dropped back to keep Nanki Pooh
company.
When they were Strengthened out for
home Hamilton went to work like fend
on Hornpipe. The son of Mr.. Pickwick
and Round Dance responded with such
wonderful burst OF speed that the cry
''HOrnpipe Wins rang through the stand.
Griffin, however. still had tight hold
on Henry of Navarro. Hornpipe got half
a length ahead of him but he evidently
kept his grip on Henry's head until the
sixteenth post had been passed. Clayton
then made 4 bold bid for victory ON the
CCminoneT.
HORNPIPE GAVE IT UP.

The Commoner put a new element of
danger into the race So far as Henry was
concerned. His challenge was SO per
SiStenI and Well Timed tndI he had np.4ut.I
Henry before Griffin realized that in the
Cunimoner he had roeman worthy OF
his steel.
He settled down to ride Henry of Navarro.
The latter fairly flew away from the road-
ing of Griffin's steel clad heels. only
once did the lash descend upon Henrys
heavinE flanks. That was enough. He
knew that he was required to 40 his
best, and with the same dauntless courage
that has marked his entire career, he
put his best energies forth and won by
a length.
Tne Commoner, the good thing from the
West, tnat mad been SO carefuuy bottled
up. had TO be content with place honors.
These he secured from Clifford by half
a length.
Tine victory of Henry Navarro was
haiicd with cheers. The day was good
one for the professionals.
The weather was ideal for racing. This
brought one of tHe largest crowus Lhi.,

the Godwood of America. A careful estI-
mate placed the attendance at 20, 600 per-
sons. Summaries:
The Double Event went to Ornament, a
octaGon, the favorte. Octagon was gain
iDg at every stride lii the run through the
stretch, and he might have beaten orDa-
