the various professional handicappers, had an ex-
ceent chance Of victory. And IL the quotations
OF the ring have any significance this opinion
shared by the layers and the form players alike.
SavabIe, Africander, Golden Maxim, Shorthose and
Whorler each with 126 pounds, held at figures
which did not differ any period of the speculation
by more than four and half points.
SANABLE QUOTED AT TO !.
Africande- and shorthose opened equal choices at

Golden Maxim at the figure and Whorler at
sevens. The other two the outsiders-the
Keene colt being held at forty and Black Hussar
at thirty. In the closing books Africanders price
rece6ed to threes and Shorthose became the actual
faVorite.
The presence of the Drake colt in the race was
sufficient in itself TO awaken the keenest interest,
as It was the first time this year that the East

Bay yesterday morning from Chicago. and the at

amounted almost TO a reception. II was the gen

this opinion not changed after the had
been and the colt had come in third. Con-
siderng the fact that he had only had twenty-four
hours in which to rest from his long trying jour

When the barrier shot up and Cochran on Golden
Maxim urged his mount TO the front and took the

period of the contest that the horse that finally
would have to beat the Golden Garter colt.

AFRICANDER AND sAVABLB FOLLOW.

unchanged, It seemed that Africander had into
