jumping race. Only one horse fell, Olindo. and
the favorite, George w. Jenkins after a
spirited contest illuminate and Miss Mitchell,

sprint to the wire 1t anybodys Here
the light weight told. however. and its bearer
was enabled to pull out from his company and
win with comparative ease by a length and
more before the Hitchcock horse. The winner
was heavily played by the Canadian contingent.
George w Jcnkins's owners got $5525 from
his victory. To BullingdOns owner went $1,000.
while Mr.. Widener got $500 for Miss Mitchells
third The steeplechase jockeys were unman-
agable at the start. and Mr.. Fitzgerald fined
them each $50. excepting Carson.
The day wound up in a blaze OF glory with
Watercolor's wonderfully fast mile in the handi-
the horses entered were scratched. so that the
handsome Watercress colt had things just to
suit him Advance Guard hung to him gamely.
and got up on almost even terms in the stretch.
but Watercolor felt like running, and. drawing
away won by length in 1:39l2 which breaks
the record for the course by quarter of second.
