advantage, were being hustled along by
their excited riders In vain attempt to
make up the advantage so quickly taken
at the outset
Grazisllo was the second horse when the
judges stand was reached. He was three
lengths behind Delhi and the same distance
before Colonial Girl. with Lord Of the Vale
dena Ostrich, Broomstick and Leonidss.
Sir Brilar was back In tho ruok. a few lengths
in front of Proper and Dainty, and entirely
overlooked He had gotten away poorly,
but little Kelly who had the mount, nursed
gradually making up ground and looking
for a chance to run over some OF the horses
in front of him when the crisis WAS reached.
At the half mile pole Delhi still had q
lead OF three lengths. Burns at this point
had let him down somewhat and, becoming
anxious was ready to. go to work at the
slightest indication OF a challenge from
the nearest competitor. Ora ziallo was
still the runner up at this stage Of the pro-
ceedings, Colonial Girl, who was third
having been unable to reduce bis advantage;
a length behind the Meddler mare and
looked as il he might accomplish some
thing after all. Ostrich had moved up
into fifth place, half length back and
the Same margin before Pasadena, while
Broomstiok, Leonidas and Sir Briliar were
running in a bunch not far away.
GRAzIALI.o MAKES HIS RUN.
1t was at the three-Quarter pole that
Hildebrand began to get busy with Grazi-
allo. The star jockey believed that II he
could once get upon even ter1ns with Delhi
he would make him quit, 80, cutting Grazi-
be rapidly reduced Delhi's lead until it was
only half a length. Burns. always on the
alert, saw the bold bid for leadership and
sat down TO ride the Keene horse.
.Delhi is bsaten!' roared the crowd from
end to end. -Graziallo has got him and ID
timed. for Delhi had not really been put
to the test and Burns WAS waiting for the
Last grueling rush through the homo

Lord of the Vale, who dropped back into

Again the cry went up that the Keene
horse was beaten but when Hildebrand
also put Graziallo under the lash 1t was
quickly realized that the Rapsllo colt wac
have hard time to win. Colonial Girl
had stopped, although Booker was still
urging her on, while Ostrich, closfn G gamely
under Knapp's punishment, was over
hauling GraZiallo with every stride. Up
from the ruck Sir Brllar came, too. with an
irresistible turn of speed, though nobody
except the keen obser vers OF the kaleido-
soopio change OF colors In the race noted
this fact.
Delhi was the magnet that drew the eyes
away from all else in the race. Would he
stop or would he continue his grand rush
for victory? That WAS the question that
thousands asked themselves as Burns con-
tinued to cut the racers tanks with his
merciless weapon.
There was no doubt that Graziallo was
unable to take the measure Of the Keene
horse at the last sixteenth pole, for he was
stopping under q heavy drive, with Ostrich
on even terms with him.
Sir Brillar. the 100 to shot, was looming
who had bet 81 on him were bowling like
lunatics. But their cries were drowned by
the wild cheers for Delhi as he raced on to
victory.
DELHI WINS UNDER THE WHIP.
Though Burns saw that he had the race
IN hand hundred yards from the wire, he
continued to use his whip to make 1t sure
thing. He could have drawn a fine finish
and still have captured the rich prize, but
there was no Use in taking chances.
Knapp was hard at work o. Ostrich
right up to the end, but Delhi held his own.
When he passed the judges there was the
usual wild demonstration, although it was
not so intense as If the finish had been
closer
Delhi was tired horse, but pulled up
as sound as a dollar, and Burns. still wear
ing the grin which had never left his face,
received an ovation as he rode hack proudly
to the scales
There was no fora horseshoe in which
Burns could sit in all his glory, but all the
way to the paddock men leaned over the
rail and patted him on the back commend
ing him for his clever horsemanship.
No sooner had the numbers of the first
three horses been hoisted than the crowd,
or greater part of it, carried away with
enthusiasm and the desire to cash winning
wagers, kicked up binding cloud of dust
In a mad rush back to the betting ring. 1t
was Delhi's day and the public was with him.
