 The Race.
 Only few moments delay at the post and the field was off to a good start. Car dinal Woolsey was first to show, with Whorler second and savable third. The Black Huzzar was fourth, Short Hose fifth. Africander sixth and Golden Maxim last. Cochran, however, at once sent Col den Maxim to the front and as they fash ed past the stand the first time Golden Maxim was leading by half a length with Whor1er second, Savable third and Africander fourth. Haack,. on the favor ite, Short Hose, made an attempt to im- prove his position by going up on the rail and was shut off and completely thrown out of 1t. Golden Maxim continued to show the way around the paddock turn and increased his lead over Whorler from a q Iorc crth fo nd haI !, la was still third running very easily. Afri- cander was fourth on the outside of sava- ble and under a good pull Bullman saving the colt for the final test.
 Golden Maxim Leads.
 Meanwhile Golden Maxim was still in front and setting a terrific pace. Round ing the far turn Whorler had enough and dropped back from second to fourth place, Savable moving up to second and Afri- cander to third place. Turning into the strentch Golden Maxim still held his ad- vantage Savable was second on the out side and Africander third on the rail Here Bullman made his effort to come through, but ran into a pocket It look ed as If Golden Maxim would win easily with Savable second and Africander third. But sixteenth of a mile from the finish Savable began to lag and dropping back left an opening of which Bulman quickly took advantage and shot Afri- cander through. Gradually gaining on the leader, he caught and passed him, few yards from the finish, winning by a head from Golden Maxim, second, two lengths In front of Savab1e, third. Whorl- CT was fourth. four lengths back and Short Hose fifth. The other two starters were out-classed BulIman was loudly cheered when he returned to the scales.
