Early last spring. in Difference to the
memory of Alfred Vanderbilt, who was
one Of the victims of the Inflated Lust
;snia. Mr. Whitney decided 20 keep his
colors on the shelf and leased mis-
horses TO M. Thompson for the sea-
son. About the same time he sold
Bromo 10 his friend. and the two horses
have been trained all the year in the
same stable By Jimmy Rowe. but went
out yesterday TO struggle for the mas
tery in the same colors. but in different
interests.
And it happened that Bromo was no.
quite good enough 20 concede four
pounds and beating to his stable
companion. although in all fairness tho
honors must be divided. as they were
as nearly equal at the finish as two
thoroughbreds could be.
Sixteen Horses Go TO Post.
Sixteen horses went to the post in
an effort to win the richest turf prize
Of the year, prize which had a gross
value OF s23,450. James Butler
scratched Paddy Whack. but John E.

Achievement 10 the post This made
one of the biggest fields which ever
paraded for the much sought fixture,
and while it did not boast the coils
which are considered the best OF the
year and was lacking 70 some extentin

and developed into a most stirring
race.
In view Of the number Of horaes,

away az the finish. il Is true, but for
FIVE furlongs he hung closely 70 Thun-

The crowd as whole, while not
quite so big as expected, was remark
