since the inception of that event ten
years ago was witnessed on the Crosse
Point track to-day by more than 9,OOO
enthusiastic spectators, and the sun
went down leaving the result decidedly
in doubt, after the four leaders had
each been credited with one heat. In
the third heat The Queen lowered Di-
rectum Killey's record of 2:11A, the
best time in the NJ & M. until to-day,
by three-quarters of a second.
If horses names count for anything,
those four leaders of the big event,
Kingmond, The Queen, Royal Baron
and Success We're entirely appropriate.
So far as it went, the race was a Splen-
did exhibition of drivers skill combined
with fast young horsefiesh King
mond the strong favorite of the day,
encouraged his hackers by getting a
heat Then the exciting finishes be-
gan. McHenry, in a wonderful drive
in the stretch, pushed Success into
winning in an almost dead heat finish
with Kingmond. Geers did likewise
with The Queen in the third heat He
tried it again in the fourth, but The
Queen failed to carry out her noted
drivers plans and again went up" in
the stretch, and Royal Baron rushed
from the bunch and took the heat,
while another hitherto inconsDicuOuS
member of the aristocracy Lady Wei
lington of Cleveland, followed close at
the Baron's heels and got third place.
Wilask gave Kingmond a close race
sn the first heat, Kingmond leading al
most all the way by only a neck.
In the second heat kingmond, Wilask
and The Queen We're together to the
head of the stretch, when Success got
into the game and won the last from
Kingmond by the barest of noses.
In the third heat Success and King
mond approached the final turn neck
and neck. But Geers came out with
The Queen, ard justified his reputation
by the manner in which he took the
heat away from the favorite.
The bunch came strongly toward the
end of the fourth heat. The Queen
and .Kingmond were leading, when The
Queen broke, while Royal Baron came
to the front and got his nose first be-
heath the wire.
Lady of the Manor was played as the
favorite in the 2:07 pace, but failed to
satisfy her hackers. The low mark
of the day, 2:0612, was reached by Pearl
Onward in this event.
Sphinx s., the favorite, got only the
place in the 2:2T pace, and Dorothy S.,
a well backed mare. took second place
