 They flew like the wind down the hill, stretched out completely across the track, twenty-three in what seemed to be al- most a straight line. Now and then the sharp wind would lift the veil of dust and as they neared the turn those on the outside rail and those on the inside closed in until saddle girths appeared to be touching. Up the hill them came, with white faced boys bending over their necks ready with whip and spur for the final struggle. Fully a dozen, as they mount ed the hill, were bobbing up and down in perfect rythm and within reaching dis tance of each other.
 The hearts of the 5o,000 onlookers were throbbing now with the intensity of the excitement. For moment, as the racers strengthened out, there was crowding in the center of that flying cavalcade. To go down meant death; a single misstep meant a frightful catastrophe. There was hardly a sound in the stands. but a mighty shout went up when Dazzling, carrying the spotted white of the Keenes. came first into the straight and the oth- CTS spread out for the dash down to the wire.
 Lord of the vale's Effort.
 McCue touched Lord of the Vale with the whip and the gallant son of Hastings sprang out to the front. Perhaps he made his run too soon for he began to falter when hard challenged a moment later. but recovered. The goal was well with in sight and McCue began to ride like a. fiend. The Whitney and Keene candi- dates were pushing him hard. Through that cloud of dust every ones eyes made out his own favorite.
 There were cries of Irish Lad'' and Golden Maxim" and Flying Prince" and 'Mizzen' and half & dozen others. Savable. the son of Salvador, never was thought of. There were hoarse shouts for Dazzling and Duster, for Aceful and Payne and White Chapel. Yet one small group-they came from the West-had their strained eyes set for a glimpse of turquoise blue that seemed far back in the rear. Lyme was ready, too, and Saw able answered the tip of the spur and the swish of the whip across the cleaning flank. He came out of the bunch like a thoroughbred. Lyme lifted him with ev- cry leap and inch by inch in the last sixteenth he wore down the single length between him and victory.
 McCue tried desperately to stall off de- feat. He swung the whip mercilessly and with fiaring nostrils, Lord of the Vale, the pride of the Belmont stable. respond ed to every cut. But all in vain Savable had his sires indomitable courage, he had his sire's speed and his great heart. He poked his nose in front of Lord of the Vale. just as they flew under the wire.
 August Belmont, watching the contest on the roof of the stand. never fiinched. He said; With another weeks work Lord of the Gale would have won"
