leaders. Herbert. running as neetly as
odom could induce him to, was gamely
endeavoring to make up lost ground
but ii was apparent that he could not
get up. And so it seemed with Advance
Guard. though Bullmar had not begu..

The Final Struggle.
As the last furlong pole was reached,
Gold Heels, with an ovcrpowering stride
put his head in front. and from the
crowd on both sides of the track there
went up reverberating. deafening cry.
Gold Heels; come on you. Gold Heels:
come on Gold Heels,''
There was another volcanic outburst
of Blue wins," but Gold Heels was
the giant of the two. and as he con-
tinued his tremendous speed Blues
hung. Shaw kept at him and the game
colt staggered on to the very limit of
MS endurance. Pentecost was coming
down the middle of the track, and it
seemed that the farther he went the
faster was his gait Redfern laid IL
on thick, and the Hastings colt fairly
hew over the ground. All three were
under the whip, yet there was no sulk-
ing, no swerYinS, no quitting. 1t was a
plain, hard death struggle in which
Gold Heels, on the rail. continued to
hold his advantage, with Blues ti-iilg
IN every stride. Gaining yards with
every jump. PeGtecost got up so he
was on even terms with Blues
and about three parts Of
lensth behind Gold Heels when they
were twenty five yards from the wire.
Gold Heels. however. was finishing sn
strongly. and Penecost was beginning to
show so much distress under punish
ment that the result was not in doubt.
and as Gold Heels. still under a hard
drive, flashed past Judges Mcdowell and
Pettingill, he was recorded the win
ner by half a length.
