But, fresh as a daisy in the morning dew, with reserve power in plenty to spare, Nutbearer swung into the lead with the quiet assurance of drum major on parade.

There were only sec- onds left. but a fraction was enough for Nutbearer to increase that lead, and then fractions of fraction and each added to the gap which he was placing between himself and his brother Like the hum of ten thou- sand bees, the admiration began to rise in ascending scale, and even be- fore he crossed the wire 1t had swelled into a volume of cheers and shrieks and roads until pandemonium reign ed and men ran forth to crown him chief among princes of horseflesh.
