Mr. Straus asked his trtiper. T. j. Sullivan. TO
start him with Hontis Csooke and Nathan
Straus Tho three horses were finally away
at q whirlwind clip and Hontas Crooke soon
lost his balance and was taken In hand.
Ouadriea chased Nathan straus from start to
finish so persistentiy that the half mile was
paced in io, This would naturally dull the
edge Of any fine horse. and when Hontas
Crooke met Nathan Stratus single hand In the
next brdsb II was really the first for one and
the secord hard one for the other. With both
horses .nder stifY drive Hontas Crooke won.
In tbs third heat Nathan Straus made a
bresx and was promptly taken In hand.
