HERMIS WITH FULLER UP
ODDS-ON FAvoRITE WON CUP PRE-
LIMINARY AT BRIGHTON.
Major Daingerfeld Was Second and
Igniter Third-Hermis Held the
Lead All the Way.

NEW YORK, Oct BE. r. Thomas's
Hermis, with Fuller up, won the cup pre-
liminary at Brighton Beach to-day. The son
of Hermence was an odds on favorite, but
had to be ridden out to the last ounce to
win. w. B. Leeds's Major Daingerfield was
second, with A. Featherstone's Igniter third.
The cup preliminary at one and a half
miles is a new feature and is weight-for-
age race, exclusively for horses nominated
for the Brighton cup, two and quarter
miles.
Four horses were carded to go, but Sambo
declined the issue early, leaving only three
to face the starter.
At the lifting of the barrier Hermis
went to the front, and opened up a gap of
one length and half on Major Danger
field. This order was maintained around the
paddock turn and into the back stretch. At
the end of a mile Fuller let out wrap on
Hermis and the Thomas horse drew away.
In the stretch Odom, on the Major, began
to ride hard, but to no avail, as Hermis
lasted long enough to win by a length. Sum-
