Malacca's best performance was made in a brush
with Swift 2:15Ia driven by John T. Cockerin The
latter horse had forced The King 201a, TO step 10
his limit to win the lower stretch on Saturday
and was looked upon generally as being much too
fast for Mr.. Strauss trotter. Yet the spotted
horse outtrotted Swift from the start He was
leading by two lengths at the end Of the first
quarter and he held this lead nearly all the way
TO the finish Mr.. Cockerills horse rallied gameiy
