close up Helgerson had brought the pet of
Waldock stables, nor did they observe that
Shaw on Irish Lad was not as near the
rail as he might have been. The western
horse responded nobly TO the call Through
a gap barely wide enough for him to pass
he made his run, and he won by the length
of his muZzle.
The shouts of joy died away in the
threats of the vast assemblage as though
the onlookers had been suddenly paralyzed.
Proper was third. two lengths behind Irish
Lad and a nose in front of Hermis. Nc
Chesney and Africander and Claude were
at the end of the procession.

Derby last year at Washington Park. Chi

GraveSend. Since then his trainer Carroll
Reid, has had him in special preparation
