The second question seemed easier to answer
than the first Heruis according the consensus
of expert opinion. would have been beaten. This
solution arrived at apparently by a compar1-
OF the fractional times of the two races Irish
Lad, in the Advance-with still another furlong to
go-ran the and a quarter miles in 2:A.
whereas Hermis required a full second more to run
the distance, with no extra furlong TO be
reckoned with. The opposition commended, however,
that Herniss fractional time for the first mile
virtually fast that OF Delhfs. who
reached that point first in the Advance in 1885, only
a fifth OF a second faster than Hermiss time for
the mile in the Suburban. They further assert that
in the through the stretch Herms had his
and that Redfern eased him up or other
wise he would have the Suburban distance
full second faster than he did. Those. however,
who have seen the son Of Hermence give way to
horse that could stay with him for q mile or to one
that could get TO him after the first mile had been
run, assert that he would have surrendered 10 both
Delhi and Irish Lad, who according 10 the frac-
