An enthusiastic holiday crowd of 10000 per-
hons watched the contest under difficulties.
The weather had been dull and threatening
from the first race and broke into Ia thunder
storm before the fourth. Rain poured down in
q steadily increasing volume and forced all
standing in the open to run for shelter. When
The big event was called the track had lost
much OF its elasticity and was beginning to
get holding on top. Tho candidates paraded
through the storm without any attempt at os-
tentation and scampercd along TO the start,
which was made out OF tho Futurity chute half
amile back Of the judges box. All the horses
had been critically inspected under cover In the
paddock and each showed not only a clean bill
OF health, but every indication OF having been
thoroughly wound up for the crucial test. Ham
burg looked condition and class all over, and all
connected with him seemed confident OF VIC
tory. The Western contingent could see moth
ing in the race but Plaudlt, the colt that had
been brought on specially for the event, while

Huguenot, found a mail host Of admirers.
While the equine stars wero receiving their
final touches n merry war was waging in the
ring. whore small ponds Of were
rapidly forming. The crowd surged and waded
through these. and the bookmakers were fairly
besicged. Some OF the layers had the hardihood
TO mark up @ TO 5 against Hamburg. but the
prevailing odds were even money. at which price
thousands OF dollars, were INFESTED. Plaudit
was heavily supported at s to 2, and The HUI
