The race was n close one up to tho eighteenth
mile, Lcsna leading in all but ono mile. tho
eighth, and riding easily and well within his
powers. Starbuck's p%acenOkcrs made heroic
efforts to pass Lcsna. but the pace was too hot
for their man, and they were often obliged to
slow down. Lesna, In the second lap Of the
seventh mile. dropped his pace and fell consid-
erably behind, Starbuck gaining n momentary
advantage. but Lcsna's pacemakerss soon picked
him up and carried him along at such a fast
clip that he caught Starbuck in two laps. and
was never again headed.
