The colt was in his stride when Mr. Fitzgerald
sent The lot away. and Bullman had an option i'm
rnediarely the best route home. He chose the
middle way which less choppy than either the
outer or inner course. Magistrate took kindly to
the going and raced away in front Cannon was
not SO fortunate placing Harangue, and was
compelled TO risk running she colt into pocket or
taking him around his field. He chose the latter
alternative. For the first fulong Joaquin kept the
Hastings youngster company. but at the end OF
that distance he found the task too much. and re-
tired favor Of Steelmaker and Dimple- These
carried Magistrate alons TO the head OF the
straight they also retired, and the favorite
had IL all 10 himself by at least a length to the

beat Dimple a length and half forsthe place.
Fiarangue could never overcome the ground he
lost the early part Of the race and. although he
finished fast in the stretch and ran clear around

So heavy and persistent was the play on the
Featherstone colt that good as TO could be

with his oldtime energy Dimple and succeeded
in bringing extremely tired little FLY in for
distribution OF the purse.
