The most remarkable incident of the
race was the brilliant performance of
the flly Love Note. On the way to the
post she became unmana geable and
ran for half q mile with her jockey,
little Reid, al full speed. He finally
pulled her UP, but il took / . minutes to
bring her back TO the post. When the
start came she rushed into the lead and
led 10 the final furlong pole. There
her earlier effort told and she stopped
badly, but good horsemen were not
wanting who believed that only her
unfortunate runaway lost her the race.
On actual performance, however, the
victory Of the Hildreth colt stamps
him the best > year old in training.
owing to his winning in other big
stakes Novelty had TO pick up 127
pounds, conceding weight to every
other horse entered, and his victory
must be credited TO the superb horse

him in all the races he has won at the
meet.

Bashti was back in the bunch. At the
