The Washington herald., 1907-08-04

New York. Aug 3.-Thirty thousand
spectators saw Charles Edward. the
noted three-year-old son Of Golden Gar
ter-FlOra Mac, win the a5,000 Brighton
Derby, one and one-half miles, at the
Beach track to-day
Running in the colors of the Patchogue
Stable, which is owned by William H.
Dubois, Charles Edward, to 5, made a
show of J. L. McGinnis' Frank Gill. by
Collar-Ravello II, Il TO 3, who was the
only other starter Charles Edward, with
l26 pounds up, ran the distance in 2:SO 4-5,
and won with consummate ease.
When three-quarters Of a mile had been
covered he had Frank GIL so completely
at his mercy that Knapp began TO take
the Golden Garter colt Up Near the far
turn Charles Edward had slowed down
TO such an extent that Frank Gin cut his
lead down materially. But even then
Charles Edward was not interested for
moment, and breezed home with four
lengths to spare in the most impressive
manner
The worlds record for one and one-half
miles is 2:SO II. made by Goodrich. a
three-year-old, with 102 pounds. at one
Of the Chicago tracks in 1898 But Charles
Edwards performance was considered by
experts 10 be more meritorious because
Of the weight he shouldered and the
fact that he simply gaIloped all the way
Had he been extended he easily would
have created new figures for the distance.
Incidentally the conclusion was drawn
that If Peter Pan had been in the race
he would have been defeated. as Frank
Gil, who was fit. and who defeated the
keene colt on two occasions. looked like
a selling platter in comparison 10 the
winner.
Charles Edward viii start In the Great
Republic Stakes at Saratoga, and if he
retains his present form he will be a
tough proposition to beat.
Leading all the way on the Derby. after
quick breakaway from the post. the
Golden Garter colt was officially timed
as follows: Furlong in O12 2-5. quarter in
O:2i 4-5, half in O:4S 3-5. five furlongs in

furlons in 1:51 3-5, mile and quarter
in 2:o4 3-5, and mile and a half in 2:sO -
