second, and Robert c. Hale's Buddha, by The
BARD, out OF Empress, by Narraransott, third.
The distance of the Realization is one milo and
Eve furlongs, and The Friar ran 1t In 2:4s 40
By odds the fastest time ever scored for the race,
and only two-f1fths of q second slower than tho
worlds record, made by tho three-yoarold Ham

Rensselaer, Tapped Tho Triar to the saddle ut the
wire. The stake was worth S1s,475 to tho
winner, S.. 1886 to the second, and 81, 5s3. "a
to tho third. The other stake, the second half
Of the Double Event for twoyear Odds, was won
BY John f Madden's blinking colt Hamburg, by
Hanover, out Of Lady Reel. with J. r. Keone's
Uricl second, and Sensation Stables Mont
40 third.
The Friar's performance was marvellous, but.
sad to say, 1t evoked moro demonstrations Of
u-Nlht u u Va ebpkoNeit hih1oe uouuoluk iuNu
above the handolappins when Littlefcld rode
back to dismount- The Frlar has performed
most inconsistently this year; In fact, he was
none too consistent at times last year. and only
aweok ago his trainer, the veteran r. w. Wal
den, issued u lettor to the public explaining that
the colt was one OF the most irritable and nervous
thoroughbreds he had ever trained. and that Tho
Friar's poor showing In the Tidal and Spin
drift Stakes must DO attributed to nervousness.
He said that It was an injustice to himself and
hts son-in-law, Fred Littleheld, who rides the
Morris horses. and has always been In
the saddle on Tho Frisr, to attribute
any motives OF ~wrongdoing to them.
Ho also said that The Triar's dam. Liazie
Baker, was 80 nervous that she could
scarcely DO trained. and tho winner Of
yesterdays prise probably inherited the un-
fortunate weakness from the daughter OF Long
follow. However. the demonstration at the
close Of yesterdays race proves that q great
many persons who patrontze racing arc not will
ing to excuse Tho Friar's shortcomings.
The talent found fault with the way Littefeld
rode The Friar In both the Tidal md Spindrift
Stakes. They said that an ormonde could not
have won under such handling. He shocked
him under o steady pull and took tho life
