trailing behind. Kinley Mac, the suburban
and the Brooklyn handicap winner, in
this race was eighth, and Admiration, the
choice of all the trainers, was fourth.
1t was cracking race from start to
| finish, Admiration carrying them all off
their feet for the first mile, and then
/ giving 1t up. Salvatore crown was lower
! ed, and Tony Aste, the bootblack king,
| had the honors with his cast-off, Jack
| Point.
EtheIbert was the favorite all the time,
| and when the horses went to the post
| Admiration was very strong second
| choice. having been played down to threes
from f1Ves. Ethelbert was first away,
with the Kentuckian second, and Admira-
ton third and the others close. Admira-
ton covered the second furlong in II 1-5
seconds, making the first quarter to the

was q head in front of the Kentuckian.

and still the Whitney mare was flying
along in front. Five furlongs were reeled
off in 1:01 1-5.

Kentuckian began to draw up on Adj
miration, while Kinley Mac was max
ing strong bid for the leadership. At
the six furlong pole, which was reached
in 1:13. Admiration was nearly caught by
the Kentuckian, as the mare only led
by head, and Kinley Mac was coming
fast. Thirteen seconds for the seventh
furlong gave Admiration and the Ken
tuckian heartache, but they stuck
gamely to their work and pegged away
at the next furlong, coming to the turn
into the stretch heads apart in the fast
time of 1:39 2-5.
But Admiration was done to turn, and
the Kentuckian nearly So Then came
Imp, from the rear, carrying her great
weight of 129 pounds as If 1t was a
| feather, with Odom perched up on the
| big saddle loaded with lead. He worked
with hands and heels to bring her to
| the front. Down through the stretch
! they Numbered, and the crowd yelled.
| First one horse and then another was
the call.
JACK POINT COMING.
Then came shout: Look at Jack
Pointr' for he was coming with a new
lease of life, and as his heels spurned
the ground he passed them one after the
other until at furlong from home, In the
record time of 1:5l, he was clear and look
ed like a winner, barring accidents.
There were good horses behind him,
however, and~Odom was urging Imp like
! a demon. He had a clear path, and no
chance Of accident. 1t was useless, how
ever, for there were two youngsters
| ahead of the black whirlwind this time
who had twenty pounds the better of it
an awful load for such distance and
such a fast race.
