WeStern Colt Takes Handicap in a
DriUc-PrOper Third.

Ten solid acres Of men and women, herded like
sheep within the gates of the Brooklyn Jockey
Clubs inclosure at Gravesend yesterday saw The
Picket, winner Of the American Derby, win the
most sensational Brooklyn Handicap that has
been run since the day Dry Monopole. Blue Wing

equality with them. Hereafter the name of The
Picket will be mentioned with the same rever-

McChesney. The race was truly run, the mile
and quarter being covered in 2:06 So. and the
winner at the weights-and he carried 119

The Picket won the race in the last ten feet
from that magnificent type OF the American
bred racehorse Irish Lad. who conceded six
pounds actual weight to him. and who had set
the pace from the rise OF the barrier TO within
twenty feet OF the wire. The decision. in fact.
depended merely upon a nod of a weary head.
and the judges caught The Pickets nod first.
IRISH LAD GREAT IN DEFEAT
1t does not detract in the least from The
Picket's splendid victory to add that Irish Lad
was almost as great in defeat he would have
been in victory. He made all the pace killed
