Better Colt.

ond and Artvis third Mizzen was fourth
and imme diately went to the front and at
the end of the first furlong had a lead of
one length over Hurstbourne, who was
only half length in front of Golden
Maxim. As the field came laundering
along Mizzen had increased his lead to a
length and half. At the furlong pole in
the stretch, Turner, on Irish Lad, began
to close in, coming from sixth place to
third in a few strides. One hundred yards
from tho wire pullman placed the whip
on the favorite and although he respond
ed gamely to the call of his rider, he was
no longer able to retain the lead and In
a furious drive Irish Lad defeated Mizzen
by half II length, while Mzzen beat Mar
tie Lewis, one and half lengths.
