highest honors in club events, scores of
outsiders carried away handsome medals
and valuable prizes to attest their skill and
success.

OVATION TO HERM1s SATURDAY
One of the Greatest Ever Given to a
Horse
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 1.-THE reception ac-
corded to Hermis after his courageous vic
tory in the Islip handicap Saturday will go
down In racing history one of the great
est ever given to a horse. That 1t should
have followed such an unimportant race
a proof of Hermis' popularity. There
was none of the glamour about the Isltp
that surrounds the Brooklyn or Suburban
handicap. nor was the route of distance
to arouse enthusiasm. the frenzy OF
cheering that began when he passed the
finish line and ended only when he was led
away after weighing in had nothing to In
duce it but intense admiration for a game
thoroughbred.
And Hermis deserved 1t. Since he was
three-year-old he has covered every dis
tance. from a sprint to a Brighton cup; has
carried on an average higher imposts than
any one horse in training during the same
length of time. and has defeated the best.
1t may be many years before the American
turf produces another as great.
