OF the best horses IN the country faced
the barrier. Nashville was Installed as
puohc choice, while Fruit Cake, Tumb-
ier' Hyannis, Al. NJ. Dick and others
were well played.
Once away from the barrier, E. T. Zol-
llconer S-year-old fIly, Fruit Cake, shot
TO the front, lead which she held for
ABOUT half mile. In the meantime z.
H. Bradley's horse Kalitan, whom he
recently shipped for this race from
Kentucky, was In third position, while
kentucky Boy was a length behind. Az
ter passing the three-quarter pole Kali
tan shot to the front and retained this
leao 10 the finish, winning by a good
margin while Al. N. Dick was second
ana Kentucky Boy third. No other can
didate in the race had any excuses, as
