II was $50 o'clock when the worlds

all-conQuering effort He had received
three slow preparatory miles during the
afternoon in 2:soK. 2;29 and 2:isk. He
was accompanied by two promp ers. az
In his mile at Cleveland After two scores
Ketcham nodded for the word, with the
stallion going at an astonishing clip. The
horse was . bit over-anxious, for he made
q mistake and Ketcham pulled up and re-
turned to the stand. On the next attempt
Cresceus got the word. He did not appear
to be going a. fast as before, but he had not
taken moro than a stride or two when he
was at his top speed.
The spectators were enthralled with
wonder and admiration as he speeded
around the turn to the first quarter In

ing to keep UP with him. He was at the half
in 5oH seconds, trotting the second quarter
In 80 seconds and accomplishing the fastest
half mile ever stepped by trotting horse.
The next quarter was covered in 3OH Sec
onds, the three-quarters being made in
1901. He was still striding on, showing
no sign Of the heart-breaking strain which
such an effort must cause.
As he turned into the stretch the runners
closed on him for the final effort. Not
until the distance was reached was there
sign Of faltering or failing. Here
Ketcham was seen to move for the first time,
and raising the lines he began lifting the
stallion at the same time calling on him
enoouragingly. 1t was then seen that the
great horse was firing. Weary, but with
bulldog tenacity he rushed on and reached
the wire in 2;o2H. the last quarter being
made In 81 seconds.
No part Of the performance, not even
the marvellous speed, was 40 inspiring az
was that final struggle against overtaxed
nature. As the wire was approached the
runners had got on even terms with him
and when Ketcham called for the final
effort the great horse made such a heroic
response that he actually gained fully a
head on the gallopers in the last stride.
There never was seen such an enthusiastic
crowd at the Columbus track Every
one Of the 10000 odd spectators seemed to
be making an effort to outyell and out
cheer his neighbor No battle-scarred hero
ever received such an ovation as was given
