Dainty and Proper. which carried the crimson
and white stripes of Walter B. Jennings ana
were considered most formidable factors ran
amazingly bad races and never gave ther lot-
,oD-ors one moment Of elation. The two, coupled
in the betting, were third choices TO DEM anu
10 Colonial Girl. and carried the wagers Of the
raiIbirds almost TO a man. Dainty pulled up
extremely lame which accounts for her per-
4orraance but her stable companion had no
euch excuse and was simply outfooted from
the start.

great Meddler, did her honest best 70 JUSTIFY

within striking distance. The game was too
fast however and when the final call came she

THE RING NONE TOO CROWDED.
The etrl,tv-seyen booknakers which formed
the so-calIed big ring and the hundred odd
layers that made uD the outer circle had no
difficulty, as they have had IN other years, OF
handling all the business that was done While
the betting pavilion was scarcely ideal re-
treat for the manned ard the halt it in no way
fresembled the swiIling maelstrom Of other years.
The holiday plungers found it possible to place
their waEers without losing either their dignity
or their shirts The book made on the race
was what is generally termed among the regu-
lars "a close one" and with the exception OF
Sir BrIIlar, quoted at 100 to J. and Leonidas. at

taken with the field of eleven starters. In the
opening quotations Delhi was held at to 2. but
as the public seemed reluctant 10 accept these
hJ1rices he receded TO to p and finally closed at

more TO her honesty than TO her brilliancy, and
the opening odds Of TO l were pounced on with
such avidity that the ring rubbed a point, and

confidence at prices ranging from skies to Fights.

THE START WAS ONLY FAIR
Mr. Cassidys effort at the barrier not
up TO his highest standard, although the field
when lie finally released the gate was fairly well
aligned Colonial Girl had drawn the rail posi-
tion, but Delhi, with his marvellous quickness,
had snatched It from her IL twinkling, and
as he bore down the grandstand he was
hugging it tight and was blazing the way at
speed that had half Of his opponents on their
Eptoes, with their necks straight. Hidebrand
had placed Graziallo in a position where he
could save ground at all the turns, and the
Singular. uncomely son of Rapallo was gallop-
ing hard in Delhis wake. Davis on Lord of
the Vale and Borker the Meddler mare had
slso succeeded IN placing their mounts in good
'erths. and the two brought up the guard
the first flight. Proper and Dainty were the
crual traiers, and IL was seen before the first
half had been run, that nothing short of a
miracle could save them from defeat
HOW THE RACE WAS RUN
Delhi showed the way all through the back
stretch. but still his followers did not breathe
easily. They expected him to be there at that
stage in the struggle-"nothing that stands on
plates can outfoot him for 2 mile" had been
their slogan-but would his heart go back on
him when the strain came and the tense mus
cles began TO ache and tire Those who held
stop watches in their hands recorded the first
seVen-eighths in 1:2J 40, and Delhi still in
'front.', and going straight and strong. That will
MAKE some OF EN- quit" these holders of the
watches announced. And as If in response Lord
OF the Vale began flying signals Of distress and
cropped slowly out or the running Graziallo
Lo"eFer had shown no signs Of surrender. On
the contrary, he was lighting for his head and
was apparently full Of run.
