The Auction Pools.
In the auction pools Bob" Cathcart
sold close to 100000. With the Dryer
pair. $500; Gen. Monroe, $3.50; Jack
OF Hearts, $3.50; Pizarro, $3.50; and
the field, $3.50. Six mutual machines
registered 10000 tickets for $25, tickets
exclusively. Close to three-quarters of
million dollars was staked in the
bookmakers' quarters, these leviathan
figures giving some idea of the amount
of money that changed hands over
the races. Three per cent commission
was deducted from the auction, and S
per cent from the mutuals.
The big field was marshaled at the
three-quarter pole and for fifteen or
twenty minutes Starter Caldwell had
his troubles. The English horse,
Pizarro. followed Monroe clear across
the track trying to kick him, while
War Eagle and Jack of Hearts, after
a kicking duel, reared upon their hind
legs, believing like two young bulls,
and tried to savage each other. AS
the two finished heads apart at the
end. it looked as if they knew each
had the other to beat. .,
When the flag fell Pizarro and War
Eagle got of in front, with Gen. Mon
roe next to last and wall of horses
in front of him as the big field punched
up for position in the run to the stand
Here Monroe was sixteenth, unable to
get through, and in the run round the
paddock turn Donohue took him to the
outside, passing half a dozen of the
rear guard, reaching the back stretch.
Here he was about tenth, and his
chances looked hopeless, with the race
nearly half over.
But Jockey Donohue, without bring
ing the horse to a drive, began a
patient, stern chase, gradually picking
up horse after horse until, at the turn
out OF the back stretch, he was sixth,
only Pizarro, War Eagle, Jack Of
Hearts, Delilah and George Kinney be-
ing in front of him. Rounding for
home, War Eagle headed Pizarro and
the English horse dropped back be-
hind Monroe as the head of the stretch
was reached.
Now the white face of Monroe was
close up to the fourth horse, George
Kinney. and when fairly in the home
stretch Donohue, for the first time in
the struggle, sat down" on the big
brown and closed on the leaders like
a pursuing Nemesis At the furlong
pole Monroe had closed up to third
place, with War Eagle and Jack of
Hearts two lengths away on very even
terms
The two lighter weighted horses still
led Monroe by length at the six.

his whip and the old horse answered
