CEDERsTRoME BREAKS IN FRONT.
II was a mighty roar that swept from
field sta nd to paddock. II was bewllder-
ing rush Of horses and dazzling, flashing
of brilliant silks hat Instantly followed thlH
cry as the Jockeys strove for early positions
of vanta ge, Little Garner broke Ceder-
strome on with II quick dash for the inner
rail This son Of Ben Strorne, with only %
pounds on his back, was full Of running.
Az he rushed 90 the front Knapp hustled he
aching Astronomer after hun, with Danae-
lion, Dolly Spa nker, Cairngorm, Oxford,
Go Between and kuroki all punched SO
closely that humping match ensued
Down past the judges swept Cederstrome
with a couple OF lengths over Astronomer,
who was in on the rail tapped by Dandelion,
Dolly Spanker and Cairngorm, To the
lower turn there was series OF croWdlng
and humping Incidents which made the
spectators cry out In alarm. But the des-
perate Jockeys were Ia king every chance
In sight, so that by the time they reached
the Beginning of the ba exist ret ch they had
settled down in the best positions obtainaole,
ever on he watch for advantage, Astron-
omer dropped back after he had covered
about three furlongs and Dandellon became
the runner up Miller, standing up In nus
stirrups, had he Hamburg colt under wraps,
Dandelion running along with his mouth
wide open fighting for his head. Az the pace
set by Ce derstrome was comparatively
slow the cry went up: -
"Why doesn't Miller go to the frontE
But such a move would have been poor
! policy, so Miller thought, because he believed
that holding such good position he would
| be able to run over Cederstrorne at the
appointed time. A length behind Dande-
| lion was Dolly Spanker, who was less than
! a half length in front of Cairngorm, with
Astronomer struggling along length away
and at the same time battling desperately
| with oxford and Go Between.
LEADERS CLOSELY PUNCHED.
II was Cederstrome at the half mile by
two lengths with Dandelion half length
| in front of Dolly Spanker who was running
neck and neck with oxford, 'airngofm'
| Astronomer and Go Between.
| -Dandeion will walk in shouted the
| public. He's got nothing to beat. Ceder-
strome will blow up and Miller Will come
home in gallop.'
IF Go Between doesn' Z win then don
| know ANYTHING about horses,' exclaimed
| Alex Shields 10 his two sons, who never
| took their eyes of Shaw. :,
