din was fourth, fighting to keep ahead
of the fast-coming Lucien Applcby.
At the gateway into the infield Henc
was tiring so rapidly that it was plain
he was out of it. Bullman kept at him
but the fagged-out colt could not re-
s2ond. The last furlong was too much
for him. Otis. too. who had showed
such speed in the early part of the
running. could not stand off the rusilcs
of those behind him.
Wyeth moved IN when called upon.
Down the stretch he came. with Luclen
Appleby at his saddle. He was we'll in
hand and passed under the wire going
away. Lucicn Appleby hal made tre-
mendous rush in the stretch and passed
Aladdin. finishing second
Hermis in at Last.
Long after the crowd had given Wyeth
cheering reception when Lyme rode
back to the judges stand. and after a
floral saddle had been placed on the
Drake colts back. HermIs finished last.
The Ziegler colt had been left so far
behind that he had been shut off by the
crowd which welled over the fences and
out onto the track to greet the winner.

was out of the chute it was impossible
to distinguish the colors. A quarter of a
mile from home Monte Carlo was lead

Wyeth Backed Heavily.
1t was one of the most sensational
races ever seen on any racetrack, and
Enoch Wishard must be given the honor
for sending the best horse to the post.
Owner John A. Drake is said to have
fairly flooded the ring with thousands
of dollars on his colt, forcing some of
the books to cut Wyeth's odds from IL to
l down to at post time.
Eastern owners were much disappoint-
ed at the showing made by their respec-

except that in their opinion the Western
horses were the best. Not one of the
Fasteners finished better than fourth,

great race in the shade.
