 stead of a short mile and quarter. Thir- teen seconds more and the fifth furlong pole was reached in 1:15, with Jean Beraud ffeck in front of Imp and Imp but neck in front of Kinley Mack who was half length ahead of Gulden. Ethelbert still loped along three lengths back, although the time was three seconds slower than that made in the match with Jim Beraud only a short while ago.
 Beraud Increased His Lead
 Around the upper turn they charged, no change being made in the pace. Thirteen seconds passed before the seven-furlong pole was reached. Imp was faltering. So was Jean Beraud, but the neck he had over Imp was now a length.
 McCue then came sailing up alongside with Kiney Mack. Turner noticed it, dug his heels into the quivering Hanks of Jean Beraud and the gallant son of His High ness responded to the best of his ability. He did nobly for a few seconds and then began to fall back. He soon joined Imp, who also had about enough of the race. At 1:14 1-5 past the start the horses had rounded the upper turn and were sailing along the short straight. Kinley Mack was in the front ranks a length to the good over Jean Beraud while the Swear Gul den was looming up dangerously close, hav- ing passed Imp, who was falling back on Ethelbert, whom Maher had at last walked up anu urSeu lOnB Into HUI pldce.
 It Was little late for the m,ve, but there were hopes in the minds of those who had pinned their faith to the Belmont horse that he might still land the rich stake and do the Montana trick over again Kinley Mack was swinging along, not the least bit in hurry, while Jean Beraud was spent completely and dropping back to- wards the rear.
 Ethelbert Came Like a Wbirlwind
 Imp was hanging on to fourth place and to Ethelbert Like a whirlwind Ethelbert was coming through the stretch Maher was digging in his heels in a frantic effort to make up the immense amount of ground he had lost during the first mile of his journey, and the shouts of encouragement were roared at him from the crowd He was eating up the ground in great bounds as he seemed to fairly fly through the stretch. First Imp was met and passed as II she was standing still. Then there was Gulden to reckon with, and the 3-year-old looked as if he was anchored so fast did Ethelbert leave him in the rear. There was yet a furlong to go and the great crowd began to shout Ethelbert as if to help the gallant thoroughbred along. It was no use, for Maher then spurred and whipped him. The horse knew what was wanted of him and in resentment of the pull on him in the early part of the race he gathered himself together, dug his toes
 
 and spring with each space-devouring stride. It was heart-breaking to see that gallant thoroughbred with fire in his eyes, his red nostrils haring with every stride, doing his best to overtake Kinley Mack. But it was a hopeless task Foot by foot he cut down the great lead, but the dis tance was too short, and they rushed past the wire Kinley Mack was the victor by a length and a half over Ethelbert having run the last quarter in 25 3-5 Eth ebert made a marvellous race at the last. McCue was hoisted into the floral jockeys chair
 Tower of Candles won the double event from Tommy Atkins, making most of the running and winning cleverly. He was at a long price, Charagrace won the intro- ductory steeplechase easily. Old Tank, the well backed second choice, fell at the Liverpool, but the boy escaped without serious injury. The other winners were Elizabeth M, Rush and The Amazon.
