mad ever seen. SO fine a contest was it
hat veteran turfmen declared that get

tory because Of II.
For six furlongs four high class young
sters ran abreast. and three of them
crossed the finish Inns so close together
hat only judges were able to separate
them. August Belmort's imported colt
Hourless was declared tho winner, but
he was disqualified and first honors went
TO X. T. Wilson. Jr.'s, bay colt Straight

The Nursery. which was first run nifty

length. but he picked this up and before
a sixteenth had been travelled and rang

strides with them. Each seemed to pos

could tell which was in front. At the
five-elghths 1t was the same. Every one
present was cheering for his favorite, and
every one believed his favorite would
win. Some one must crack under that
PRESSURE was the cry that went up on
all sides. Blu no one cracked.
A sixteenth of a mile from the finish
and the result was still in doubt. All
