HERNlS WINS THE CUP.
NEVIS SENT TO THOMAS

RQce-Fulier on .4Uan.

Along about o'clock yesterday afternoon a wire.
less message was sent far awav over The rscs %
the waters informing E. p Thomas on his wav
10 England that his high priced colt Hermis had
JUST Won the brishton Cup. BY curious coinci-
dence thirteen-inch gun al the SANDY Hook Prov
ing Grounds was fired at the s,,,a -o,a. 60. a.
report filed the grandstand with roar like the
breaking OF mighty sea the structure shivered
unti the raiters ratified In the awed hush that
teh upon me concourse Of people voice was
heard saying: Peace be unto vo1 tr.s T.bon,os -.
eeiving the news Its effect was IKE that achieved
when up spake the captains daughter"
And the race that the little chestnut horse ran
was IN way worthy OF the thunderous applause
from the sea In taking the measure OF Major
D1ingerfeld m contest supposedly far bevond his
power Of endurance. he performed a task few OF
his admirers thought him capable Of
FULLER RIDES A SPITE HORSE"
The running of the Cup yesterday was its seventh
renewal. and there al least one feature about
1t which rather distinguished it from is predeces
soTs. OF the four animals entered to so the two
miles and a quarter for the $4,000 prize and the
Is-karat gold cup which went to the victor, one
animal was simply and solely spite horse"
When Senator Timothy D. Sullivan sent his cheap
three-year-old geldng Allan race against
such horses as Hermis and Major ,Daingerfeld in
the longest stake OF the year, he knew that
the colt stood as much cnance OF heating them
knee sprung Angora goat would have But Sen
ator Sullivan has second call on the services OF
Grover Cleveland Fuller. the same jockey on whom
f. r. Thomas has third call. and rather than
have him ride Hermis. he would have been com
PEELED had there been no prior demand on his ser
vices, he would have put Grover Cleveland Fuller
up a Newfoundland dog.
So intense. in fact. is the feeling cherished
against the young turfman by Archie thinner
who discovered Fuller, and the boy himself. tnat
il is likely they would have the risk OF break
ing the contract had not this means Of evading II
been offered by Timothy D. Sullivan whose horses
thinner trains. The grievance OF these TWO against
MI Thomas. It seems is similar to that which re-
suited in George Odom refusing TO renew his con-
tract with Alexander Shields when he became
racing partner of Mr.. Thomas. The lavish praise
which the tall. rich young man bestows on ms
Jockeys when they win does not. II would appear
atone for the sharp criticism he heaps upon them
The spite horse however. failed to bring about
wished for Hermis not only won without tuiier
but with Redfern, and when the dinerence o+ pc
tween these two race riders is taken into account
some idea OF what the colt accomplished may be
had.
HARD PROBLEM FOR PLAYERS
The cup is a. weight-for-age race. Allan carried
Ios pounds. Major Daingerfeld. Herms and leniter
each took I'D his year-old impost OF ia pounos
From, the betting mans point OF view. the contest
resolved itself into problem in which Herulis anu
the Major were the factors which couIo NOT 1e
eliminated As both could not win, 1t was a oiiI-
