win the rich National Stallion Stakes, for two
year.olds Ave furlongs. at Belmont Park
yesterday afternoon. First; Water. for whom
Bennington recently refused $4,000. had not

would not be denied by the majority Of the

Frank Farrells Clark Griffth. by Kinley
Mack-Maiden Poem. opened at skies. went
up to Fights and was then backed down to
sevens. The race was run straightaway and
both First Water and Clark Griffith had not
gotten away well. whereas Merry Boy and
Vendor rushed of in front to set a fast pace.
II was at the last quarter pole that O'Neill
found an opening in the middle of the bunch,
through which he took First Water 30 quickly
that within the next fifty yards the Water
cress colt doomed up in front amid wild
demonstration, But little j. j. Walsh had
been making up ground with Clark Griffith
so steadily that when the final furlong pole
was reached the splendid son OF Kinley Mack
was gaining on First Water with every stride.
Down to the wire they rushed close to-
gether, Clark Griffith receiving a compare
lively weak ride. Will, o. Neill's handling OF
the favorite was noted. Clark Griff1th. how
ever. continued to gain until some of the spec
tators though, that he would win the prize.
but not far from the end O'Neill hunched
First Water n bit, that the $4,000 colt
managed to hold slight advantage until
he had passed the judges, Tho official verdict
gave the race TO First Water by head IN
1903 2-5. He won rather handily, although
1t was asserted in certain quarters that he
had much in reserve. But at that. 1t Is doubt
