on he gave the colt his own way, so far as assum-
ing the lead concerned and Delhl started on

as his progress in the Belmont. Around the PAD
dock turn and into the backstretch he raced two
lengths ahead and as doom stil had restraining
Rand upon him. his followers felt no uneasiness
The first evidences OF distress were noticed at the
turn leading of the backstretch.
And these evidences were negative rather than
r,ostive He was not falling back. but Ort Wells
was slowly but surely closing the two length gap
which separated them At the stretch turn they
were running head and head. but the pubic mad
not abandoned all hope even then. Delhfs followers
believed that Odom still had something left which
he was reservrg for the final struggle. but in the
ne1t half furlong they saw that however mucn
Odom might have. Hildebrand on Ont MeAs had

The King Eric colt was moving away in long,
easy strides which evidently cost him little effort
and al the same time Odom was at work with all
his strength and skill and cunning For second
he tried hand riding and when that failed he went
whip. Delhi tried 10 respond. but it was only
