in Hard Finish.

That there is quite q difference between
time as made in a "Set-down-and-dig'
sprint race. where many horses start. and
n mere parade 1T the same distance. was
exemplifed by Bas d'Or's race yesterday
contrasted with that OF the same horse last
Saturday.
On that day Bas dor took Up 10 pounds
and cantered six furiongs in 1:l4. He had it
all his own way and outclnssed his field
Yesterday he was in against Kindred. HI
lee and several others. with two pounds
more up He was beaten by a length in
lbs At that he ran 4 good race, as he was
giving aged horses from twelve TO twenty
five pounds in weight
Kindred. at 6 TO ]. broke in front and
never was headed He won easily. Hilee
and Mabel VIM gave him pursuit TO fhe
stretch entry. Here Mabel. whose wind is
sharply and undoubtedly affected. stopped
She will scarce do hereafter. Hiee held
on well.
All this time Bas Dor had been having
a humping match with Travers. Found
ling and some Others about six lengths be-
hind When the star colt got free in the
stretch he came on fast. but never could
reach Kindred Hilee was a good third.
Many persons could not understand why
colt who ran III l:1i on saturday could
not do l:l5 on Wednesday. The reason Is
this: Bas Dor is a nice eveu-gaited colt.
He likes TO get into his stride. and run
easily. If he is bumped or cut of, or
has to get out and scramble for position
among sprinterS he loses his clean sweep
ing stride and is easily beaten. He is not
a .cat-clawings' sprinter, who throws up
clay as he breaks. With any two horses in
the race he would have won handily.
QUAKER GIRL IMPROVED.
The first race was run right and went TO
kentucky Nuddie who was favosite and
. best
The second saw Quaker Girl improve sud
denly. show great speed and beat Athena,
the favorite, in gallop by six lengths
Quaker Girl was 10 to l. and many wise
fellows bet on her.
was surprised at her race. He bet on her
, previous time out. and did not bet on her
Yesterday. She was of well. then and ran
well to the stretch Then Doctor Cartledge
giving her weight and breaking badly, ran
over her. Athena handily disposed of Doc
tor Csruedge previous time out, coming
from behind him. The race was a sur
prise.
FAD START IN THIRD RACE.
Mr.. Dade got very bad-looking break
in the third race. and Scalper. even favorite
at to with Bugler, was off in front and
flying. Bugler and Lord Hermence, favorite
and third choice, were as good as left at
the post. while Brancas was away back
when the barrier went up. The race was
Scalpers after the start
Bugler and Lord Hermence had a duel FOX
second money. Bugler got it b. nose.
Had Busler not pursued Scalper so hard he
probably would have beaten Hermepce cas-
lily.
The fifth race went to Judge Cantrill in
desperate three-nose finish. Olonetz. Pira-
teer and Cantrill were in the rear division
to the half mile. Pirateer being last Ar
the half Booker sent Olonetz to the front.
Cartrill held a nice position bac.. of the
pace.
Smith had to take Pirateer all around the
field. In a hard drive to the wire. Cantrill,
who had the best position on the outside,
got up nose in front. Pirateer In the
middle. was second. Pirateer and Olonetz
had bad positions in the stretch run. They
were bumped by Cantrill, on whom Bridwell
put up a good ride.
The sixth race went to the good thing
Una Price. ridden by Booker. She laid be-
hind the pace TO the stretch, then came on
and won. with ease. Sheehan gave Doctor
Hart fine ride and was second.
