the outside and Gloriher on the rail moved up
and gave battle to the flying pacemaker. For
few strides they ran head and head, with Oxford
10 all appearances running the strongest but
just when his followers began to shout he, with
De Mund. began TO hang, while Glorifer' run

ben, after being crowded back at the start, had
been forgotten in the keen struggle between De

he, with Don Diego. dropped from the clouds. as
IT were, in the last sixteenth and came rushing

TO recognize Roseben as the horse which was
fighting his way 10 the front and his many fol-
lowers shouted encouragement. He was run
ming as if he had a feather instead of l35 pounds
on his back but the distance was all too short TO
make UP the ground lost earlier, and GloTifer
won cleverly by full length.
Two lengths behind Don Diego, De Mund and
Oxford struggled home heads apart, with the
rest OF the field strung out for a full sixteenth
OF a mile, Shackle bringing up the rear. The
failure Of De Alund a grievous disappoint-
inent 10 those who had confidently expected that
he would be of the best three -year-o -olds Of
the coming season. To be beaten as he was
with everything in his favor indicated. perhaps,
a lack Of courage. but in all probability he
needed the race 10 put him on edge. He has
grown and developed into a fine looking colt,

yesterday.
Gloriher was a high class two-year-oId, and
ran yesterday 10 the promise he gave at that
time. AS q three-year-old he suffered from
some leg trouble, and he did not race often last

yesterday in the comparatively slow time of
lbs 10, which was surprising inasmuch as
Bellsnicker in the next race turned the distance
in a fifth Of a second faster. Time has little
bearing, however, on the value OF a race, and
his performance was particularly good one.

front soon after the start, and kept him there
TO the end. Huppe, on Dulcian. rode the over
land course, and made at least three distinct
moves with his mount during the race. Under
better handling his mount would have been a
keener contender through the last sixteenth.
