vor;tes and by the Western horses beating the
best that could be sent from the East
There is TO room for argument about the pest
horse winning. The race was free from rousn ~

twelve three-year-old colts that lined up at t'ie
barrier to-day before Starter Dwyer. Jockey Hu
Glen Lyme rode sensible race on Mr. Drake C''''

by using Heno so much in the early part OF the
race for furIong after furlong he fousht Ioi TIC
load with T3aruev Schreibers Otis and they SET d
pace which in the slow and dead track told on oo
of them at the supreme moment or the race 'e
struggle in the homestrech. Singleton on Otis was
censured by many good judges Of racing lor uai',h
what appeared TO be singuarly poor judgment II,
taking to the front colt carrying 12I POUNDS anu
trying to tptoe such a large and hlghciaSS i'eiu'
However X is only fair to presume that 0ch'e'oe'
Jockey rode according 10 orders
Pentecost and Arsenal ran q terribly disappol-
ing race Neither ever reached a position SUM-
cientIy near the front to be regarded as Sert'N9
contender, and visitors from the East WHO i"I
witnessed their best races on the tracks h'ouI'N
New-York declared that the unsatisfactory per
rorrnances of these two colts would have to be at
tributed 10 their unusually long and trying raiiroao
Journey on the Of such an important contest
As Arsenal and Pentecost were delayed hIie nuns

turfmen believe that the advanced lot the'i
poor showing is without foundation
Perhaps the greatest disappointment IN '"e laC'
to those who decided at the last moment I" pm
their faith to a Western horse was the race run
bv Bellies Commoner. He failed to finish wltAih

The real surprises Of the race were Lucien AP-
pleby and Aladdin. who finished second ana thlFd

went TO the post for the first race on the caro-
those who had placed their faith in nm IN 'he
future books gave up their bets for good as lost
One Of the best features of the race run py
Wyeth was that he got off last at the fall OF the
flag and the field down one by one s'rloihe
along In Irresistible style. without any apparent
effort. and at the same time getting over the
ground grandly. He appeared at ali stages OF ihe
race to be running well within himself although

any part OF the contest no matter what me ledI, I
We're doing, and he was rewarded by finding at the
finish that his horse had enough LETT to mage a
grand run through the S TeTe Fer third G hon6rs
The story of the race is soon told: There was tt,
