New York July 7.-Capping a climax Of
victories unprecedented in the history of
the American turf Africander proved him
self to-day the greatest three-year-old of
/ this generation. He has surpassed the tri-
umphs of Hanover and Hermis. beaten the
best handicap horses and stamped his su-
| perioity among his contemporaries in de-
cisive style.
He won the Lawrence Realization Stakes
at one and fve-elghths miles at Sheepshead
Bay after battle with probably the best
collection of three-year-olds that has ever
struggled for that classic prize. He over
came speed. courage and endurance in his
ndversaries and. in spite of misfortune
after misfortune in his own battle for the
front. sprang to the lead in the very last
strides after racing at a speed that broke
two records before the winning post was
reached and set a new mark for future
Realization winners.
Africander won by head from Golden
kim. who was two lengths in front Of
Savable Whorler followed. four lengths
back. Short Hose was fifth, length and
half away and twelve lengths in front of
Black Huzzar. Cardinal Wolsey was six
tenth of mile behind the winner.
The time was 2:i5 l-5. faster by 22-5 Sec
onds than the record made by Major Dam
gerfed last year. Africander was second
choice at to in the betting. Short Hose
backed from to to s to 2, was favorite.
GOLDEN MAXIM IN FRONT.
To very prompt start, Cardinal Wolsey,
with Cannon up. was quickest away. but
Immediately went back and Golden Maxim.
ridden by Cochran. took the lead as the field
swept down the Futurity shute. Whorler.
Odom up. carried Whitney & Duryea's col
ors close behind and the yellow and blue of
John A. Drake showed Savable In third
place.
They seemed TO be going easy. but the
pace throughout the race was terrific. Afri-
cander was fifth passing the stand, but
moved up on the turn into the back stretch
and ran to the stretch close Tapped on Saw
able, who was third Odom made his run
with Whorler nearing the far turn, but
Golden Maxim was rated along. always
holding the Brooklyn Derby winner safe.
Short Hose. favorite and victor in the his
toric Withers, could never get up to the
leaders
O'NEIL'S BAD JUDGMENT.
Despite the killing pace he had set
throughout. Golden Maxim turned into the
stretch still going easily, and length
ahead Of Savable. on the rail. Tapped by
Africander. Golden Maxim went wide and
oNeil tried 10 take Savable through. but
the latter closed in sharply and cut him Off
O'Neil pulled to the outside and made his
bid. Savable responded with splendid
burst of speed and looked a winner for
moment. Then Golden Maxim drew away.
AFRICANDER'S WONDERFUL BID.
Cut OF at the turn, Africander had lost a
length. and now, with the goal less than 800
yards away, he was pocketed against the
fence by Savable. with Golden Maxim in
waited for what seemed the impossible
Savable faltered and left six feet clear. and
in an instant Africander had turned out of
his stride and was going around Golden
Maxim and gaining on him at every jump.
1t was only fifty feet to the wire. bat
the splendid colt raced doggedly on made
up length, and then. Just as the wire was
reached, showed his head in front. The roar
that greeted Afhcander's final burst rose to
a tornado OF cheers as he won. Bullman
came In for the tremendous and well-earned
applause when he weighed out.
