the ruck today in the great Western
handicap, one of the-important long dis
lance events of the Washington park
meeting .Waddell had up 122 pounds and
was trying to give big pull in the
weights and a beating to some Of the

played, today by thousands Of admirers
who had set him on a pinnacle quite
outside the limits of equine ability
There was great interest in the handi-

that ever went to the post in the mile

the stand, Sidney Lucas dropped back
beaten, and Vesuvian and Six Shooter
took up the rum ng. Robert Wadden
was already in difficulty and on the back

as pullman was working hard on him.
In the meantime Advance Guard moved
up and got to third place 1t was still
half mile from home and in view of Ad-
vance Guards une&celled finishing quail

would win. He held this place until the
head of the stretch. Here VesuVian and
SIX Shooter mad shot their bolt and Ad-
vance Guard took command. The race
was over so far as first place was con-
cerned. Star Chamber who had been
running in fourth and fifth place, and
Terminus came along and made bold
bid, but it was a. futile effort to catch
Advance Guard, who Won by two lengths

sixth, fighting hard but completely ex-
hausted. Considering the condition OF
the track it was a good performance, the

two lengths. However, the Schorr's,

Woods at the start, got slightly cut off
in the stretch and finished fair second,
so that he might have given the winner
an argument had he been usually lucky.
