to them. They had imagined that the Ko-

yFavorites had none the best of it at the

the talent was hard hit. In six events
only two first choices went under the
Wire in front and the long shots had an
inning for two. The first two races We're
described in yesterdays report. The
third race went to the favorite, the

again the talent got it in the neck.
There was nothing to it but The
Butcher in the third race and as his odds
We're prohibitive, at to 10. the pikers
satisfied themselves with playing place
and to show horses. The Butcher won
all the way, with Senator Dubois, at to

In the fourth race there was strong

Fourth round-Mose opened with left
to head. He missed a right swing and
got jab in the face from Barry's right.
Barry sends hard right to body and left
to head. Barry blocks a right and left
and sends left to face. Nose sends left
to face twice and Barry sends right to
body.
Fifth round-Mose sends left to nose.
They clinch. Nose sends left to nose.
Barry puts right jolt to body and gets
left on nose in return. Nose sends light
left to face and follows it with hard
one on the nose. Barry sends right to
body and gets it on the nose again in re-
turn.
From that time until the 10Th round it
was the same old story. Nose kept land
ing on BBarry's nose with his left and
the Chicago boy seemed unable to stop
1t. He fought as though he was weak
and was as Indifferent as a man content
to have Nose the aggressor and himself
on the defensive.
Nineteenth round-Barry opened up
matters by landing hard on Noses jaw
and followed it up with stiff right on
the same spot. Nose wabbled and look
ed as though he might be put out for
minute. He came up strong, however,
bed it on Barry's nose. They clinch and
there is some breezy fighting, during
which Barry sends his right to the ribs
and gets a left on the nose for his pains.
They clinch and on the breakaway
Barry sends right to head. They are
sparring al the gong.
Twentieth round-Mose sends left to
head and they clinch. Barry sends right
to head and they clinch. Nose lands left
on the nose and they clinch again. Nose
sends another left to the nose and Barry
is bleeding like stuck pig. Nose sends
right to ribs and left to nose. Barry
ducks a left swing and they clinch. AS
they break the gong sounds.
Harry Monohan gave entire satisfac-
ton as referee and handled the men all
right Occasionally he cautioned La
Fontise about his petty tricks but as
Nose was ever ready to apologize and
claim that it was an accident, summary
action was not necessary.

mas notified his English agent to have his
American race horses and brood mares
shipped to Vantage and it is stated will
in the future confine his racing opera )
tons to England, forsaking entirely the
American turf. Al
This step is believed to be due to the
fact that while Mr.. Croker has been re-
markably successful with his race horses
in England, this year. he has been COR
respondingly unfortunate on this side
of the water. It is said to be the anibi-
ton of Mr.. Croker to win the Derby with
