the American turf, Africander proved him
self to-day the greatest three-year-old
Thoroughbred OF his generation. He has
surpassed the triumphs OF Hanover and
Hermis. beaten the best handicap horses
and stamped his superiority among his con-
temporaries in decisive style. He won the
Lawrence Realization stakes at one and
hve-eighths miles at Sheepshead Bay after
q battle with probably the best collection Of
three-year-olds that has ever struggled for
that classic prize. He overcame speed,
courage and endurance In his adversaries,
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 sreed that broke two records before
the winning post was reached and set a new
mark fcr future Realization winners.
Africander won by head from Golden
Maxim. which was two lengths in front Of
sava5lc. Whorler followed. four lengths
back; Short Hose was fifth, a length and
half away and twelve lengths in front OF
Black Hussar. Cardinal Wolsey was a
sixteenth OF a mile behind the winner. The
time was 2:45 To- faster by two and two
fifth seconds than the record made BY Ma
jor Daingerheld last year. Africander was
second choice at 3 to in the betting. Short
Hose, backed from TO l TO to 2, was IA
vorite.

Ter. with OdoD in the saddle, carried Whit
ney e. Duryea's colors close behind, and the
yellow and blue OF John A. Drake showed
Savable in third place. They seemed to be
going easily, but the pace throughout the
race was terrific Africander was fifth

turn into the back stretch and ran 10 the
stretch closed Tapped on Savable, who was
third. Odom made his run with Whorler
rated along. always holding the Brooklyn
Derby winner safe. Short Hose, favorite
and victor in the historic Withers, could
Despite the killing pace he had set
throughout Golden Maxim turned into the

Golden Maxim went wide and O'Neil tried

Aclosed 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.
Cut of at the turn, Africander had lost

yards away. ne was p pc 6,i against the
front Of him. Bullman kept his head and
waited for what seemed the impossible.
Savable faitered 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.
IL was only fifty feet to the wire, but the
splendid colt raced doggedly on made up a
length and then. just as the wire was
reached, showed HIS head I'm front. The
roar that greeted Africander's final burst
rose to tornado Of cheers as he won. Bull
