EXCUSE FOR IRISH LADS RACE

The most plausible excuse the critics could
find yesterday for the mehod OF handling IRISH
Lad that Mr. DCryea and Mr.. Whitney
made up their minds that The Picket was the only
horse they had 10 beat and that they would let
Hermis make the pace and then take care OF The
Pickett when the former had himself into the
ground Unmolested. however Hermis refused TO
work out the problem just that way. and while
Irish Lad was laying back for The Picket the lit
tie chestnut horse went about his business and
beat them both.
another theory which the Hormis followers ad-
vanced 70 account for the favorites defeat was
that based upon the fractional time for the mile
and a quarter. They contended that with the first
eighth run in OH is. the quarter in - % the half
IN As %. the threequarters in lis, seyeu-elghtts
IN 70 Is and The mile IN l2S 10 Irish Lad coult
not have stayed with Hermis any way. and that
therefore. he simply outrun.
This explanation would be more plausible had Il
rot been evident that Shaw took his up IN
the run. through the first quarter and deliberately
reinQuished the rail position which he had drawn
by lot 10 ReGfern Bermis.
Irish Lad wore blinkers for the first time but n
spite OF this precauuon Shaw insisted after the

HERus FRESHEST AT FINISH.

There can be no denying the fact that Iermis
was me freshest horse in the race at the hnish;
that he showed fewer symptoms of distress when
Redfern brought him back 10 the judges stand.
and that he won with almost ridiculous ease. As
he passed the winning post he was two lengths IN
front Of The Picket. and two and half lengths in
front Of Irish Lad.
