put the punishment on thick, the Voter
colt standing the gruelling with the game
ness of a champion. Electioneer ran the
distance in the comparatively slow time OF
lis 3-5. Artful and Ormondale, the two
previous winners, hung up l:li AS.
GREAT CROWD FOR GREAT RACE
Long before 1 o'clock the huge stands
began to fill up with enthusiastic thousands.
The private boxes were filed with society.
while the public at large filed tho rest
OF the structures and swarmed over the
green lawns. Before the horses were
called to the post for the Futurity it was
estimated that more than 10000 persons
were on hand.
So great was the overflow in the field
enclosure that hundreds were permitted
to cross tho track to the infeld, where they
lined the rails from the timers stand clear
up to the turn into the main track. Three
hundred booGmlkers, OF whom 100 were
In the field, handled the publio's money.
The speculation was heavy On the first
three races, but it was nothing compared
TO the betting on the big race. Public
form and the selections Of all the 'tipsters
with few exceptions made the Keene entry
q probable winner, and in nine cases out Of
ten the men and women who came to the
track with bank rolls big and little placed
their money that way. The confidence
in the Keene entry was further strengthened
when il became known that Trainer Rowe
had added Ballot with 12o pounds, and had
withdrawn Zlmbcsi.
Ballot only recently had shown phenom-
enal time in a trial at the Bay and as he
had scored several noted SUCCESSES earlier
in the year it was believed that his presence
at the post would make the famous stable
practically invincible. But while the great
food of money placed upon the Keene
youngsters fairly choked the Layers cash
boxes the tip on Electioneer became so
widespread in the paddock that there was
IA hustle TO get board when it was prac-
-tTca1Iv impossible to secure better than

BIG MONEY ON WINNER
. That was when tho horses were al the
post-and the books were loaded up with so
much support for L~akelsnd's colt that after
Ahe race il was estimated that the big ring
paid out fully s75, OOO on h winner.
Lakeland, whose residence il practically
q part Of the Brighton Beach track, pre-
pared his colt at the Beach. Several days
ago El~ectioneer worked ~thrcc-quarters
of a mile in l:I2 3-5. There was no fake
about this performance and il became
public property. Because of this remark
able work, therefore. and for the reason
that Lakeland expressed ~unbounded con-
'fidence in the youngster he received sup
port that netted a handsome return.
? . In the paddock while the horses were
being saddled the Keene trio and DE Mund
attracted the most attention. De Mund
and his stable mate, Horace E., both were
saddled by J. W. May. yet for the reason
that they ran in separate interests they were
not coupled in the betting. 1t had been
hoised about early in the day that Trainer
May had more confidence in the prowess
of Horace Z. than in that Of De Mund.
In fact May was quoted as saying that
Horace f. was the fastest colt he had ever
handled and was a better two-year-old
than the lamented Yankee Consul. When
n came to betting DeMund carried what
might be called the stable commission. for
he Remained steady in the betting at 5 to 1.
~ the running Of the first race had been
dclsyed for fifteen minutes because OF the
inability Of the railroads to handle the
crowds The FutuTity candidates were not
called TO the post until ten minutes after
4 o'clock,

that time standing room was at a pre-
MUM. Both stands were jammed from
top to bottom. while from the paddock
rail up to the bend in the track beyond the
Held stand stood thousands OF men and
women craning their necks to get a glimpse
OF the horses.
There was a buzzing or voices when
'Oran stepped ouC Of the paddock with the
popular Miller up. He had $50 pounds on
his back. which was considered an anchor,
and won't UP Ia IS to I with few takers.
Then followed Peter Pan with Willie Knapp
in the saddle and Pope Joan ridden by
Nicol. the hoy who rode the never to be
forgotten Sysonby in all of his races last
There was applause for DeMund with the
hot tempered Radtke on his back, but
Horace E., with Tommy Clark up, passed
unnoticed. Angus. Belmont's Don En-
riQue, q half brother to Beldame, also was
ignored. The crowd too some notice OF
Gonville, a colt by Dieudonne. perhaps be-
cause he was a stable mate OF the noted

Then came OIf Honesty, AWcstern colt,
