J. B. Haggin's Waterboy was the next to de-
cline and a moment later the crowd surround
ing the bulletin board received its first real
shock when the names of Irish Lad and Gold

owners had kept Irish Lad at home instead Of
sending him on to Chicago for the American

The absence of the Whitney horses from the
contest placed both Burns. who was to have
ridden Irish Lad and Redfern. who was to have
had the mount on Goldsmith, the market, and
there was a wild scramble between tockeyless
owners for these two stars. Billy" Shields gal

LUX CAsTA ADDED LATE.
After all the destinations had been made the
Albenarle Stable added its four-year-old FLY
Lux Casta, and this made up company of 1f-
teen to face the barrier. With Goldsmith and
Irish Lad out of It the handicap became even
more Of a problem for the students than it had
been before, and they seemed at a loss whom to
elect q favorite. The layers helped them out
by starting of with Major Daingerheld and
Heno both at TO i, but although the black
Handspring colt finally closed first choice, the
support accorded him was not unanimous and
he went back at post time to 16 to D; Heno also
receded point. Hermis and Yardarm were held
at to l. and received considerable support.
Colonel Bill opened and closed at S to 1; Her
bert was backed from 20 to 10; Bonnibert went
from 60 to 100; Himself from 30 to 100; Igniter
remained steady at Z; Africander at 10. His
Emfnence was played from 80 to 20; Hunter
Raine commanded some support at u; City

that his owner would repeat at 20, and Lux
Casta, the added starter, went back from 20 to
90
Although the betting pavilion just before the
race looked though a whirlwind had struck
the Sub-Treasury and blown all its paper cur
rency direct TO Sheepshead Bay the amount OF
money wagered on the race was not so over
whelming it appeared and the booknlakers
accepted what offered with great compla-
cency and kept most of it. A majority of the
wagers were made Herbert straight and
place.
At the post Lux Casta, 10i pounds occupied
the extreme outside. and next to him, extending
clear across the track in this order, were Heno,
III; Igniter, 1l2; Major Daingerfeld, 123; Colo

Hermis. lbs: Hunter Raine, 81; Articulate us;
City Bank, 102; Yardarm. 90; Herbert. us. and
Himself, 95. When Mr.. Fitzgerald pressed the
button they went away like a troop of cavalry
Horses suddenly possessed Of incredible speed.
ARTIcULATE FIRST AT START
Articulate first in his stride, and Burns
sent him away with a rush. Hermis and Him
self joined him in the next few yards and the
three headed the procession past the grand

Daingerfeld. and the black colt running far

first turn Before the first sixteenth mad been
Africancer had taken his place with the
leaders. and Just as the turn into the back
stretch was made Hermis and the Star Ruby
colt shook themselves free from the others, and
the three furlong pole a length separated
them from their nearest contenders.
At this juncture Major DaingerfieId was so far
out Of it that he seemed hopelessly beaten. An
other furlong and the cry went up ''Hernis is
heaten" and one glance sufficient to verify
il. The pace he had set had been terrific and
the men with watches asserted that no one Of
the leaders could sustain it, This was true of
last years champion, and when he shot his bolt
AZ the end Of seven-eighths he was so complete

he dropped gradually back through the ruck and
finally finished in twelfth place
Africander however, kept on as though the
goal was only another furiong away. a, d he
