candidates looked well and moved freely
in their preliminary canters. The Fnar
was train,d to tie hour, and did not look
as dry as any OF the others, while on tile
way TO the start, which was to be made
in tn. gap by the woods on the tuturity
course. Rensselaer, was by ODDS the beauty
OF the party, while Bnddha was as sedate
as though starting for IA $4,000 stake
We're an everyday occurrence in his life.
There was only u short display at the
post before they were sent away, with
The Fnar in tile front ranks Littleficld
wa,ted for nobody 10 go out and set the
pace, hut, taking the rail, let the chestnut
colt stride along The handsome son OF
FnaI's Rale;.m ran to the stand IN O:49 4-F,.
Caldron. Rensselaer, and Buddha were bead
ing ,he ruck, with HaphaZard trailing. The
splendid action OF The Friar was never
usore appaTen. as he stole to the five fur
longs in 1903 ana TO the three-quarters IN
l.l6 2-5.
"Thcre's no pace" said an onl0oScr.
No, there isn't," said n bsstander, saT-
casticaIiy, who stood, watch IN hand, and
clicked of the fWIobfs TIE six fur
longs pole was passed and The FHar vas
stilla length and a half TO tie coed, Caldian
began TO 20 away from Rensselaer,, and
Hewitt rode Nc cDonald's colt for half
dozen strides. This proved 10 the fiIst
speaker that there was pace enough TO
suit anybody
Taral was right In behind Caldron and
Rensselaer,, with a nice hold of his colts
tead, ready to move whenever the time
came, but all the time The Friar was PUT
ting In his quarters like cIockwurk. Seven
fuTIongs in ] 80 ID: mile in AZ 2 .,
and the mile and a furlong III 1:55 10.
No indication that he would come back,
ard when tile colts swung for the big bend
for home all but The Friar and Rensselaer,
were being ridden hard, the crowd real
lied that the race was between the chest
nuts.
Hewitt, who is only lad, and lacks
the experience of a Taral or Garrison,
and who is not up to the hundred and
one little tricks which make Sloane,
SiIHms, and Doggett masters of their pro-
fcssiou, but who is wtthal a good rider,
reused Rensselaer, all the way home In
the endeayor to close the gap. He did
ever, ,tnng 10 the gallant colt but whip
him, and there he showed excellent judg-
ment, for no small boy can do justice with
the whip in a fighting finish He had
Littlefield uneasy as the furlong pole
which marked the end OF the mile and a
half was reached in 2:35, but the rider
Of The Friar as unawed by Hewitt and
rode out with hands and heels
RensselaeT's handsome head was at the
Friar's girth as the wire was passed
Buddha was distant third and Dr. shep-
pard fourth.

when LittIefield rode up to disnount he
was greeted by storm of Kisses, mingled
with applause and cries OF, Good boy.
