MIL LKMAID IS
 VICTOR IN BIG
 BELMONT RACE

i New York, Sept, 6-Commander J. l K. l., Ross NIilkmaid, which numbers among her numerous victims this sea- ' son no less a high class racer than | g. c. Hildreth's Cirrus, showed yes- ! terday that she could sprint as well as go distance when she captured the BeTair Handicap at six furlongs which was the real feature at Bel mont Park, NillSmaid ran a fine race, and won on her own courage by out gaming the Beet EIdn Queen,
 This was one of the best contests on & card which offered no real stake event, but which provided some good competition. The return of sunshine after several dark days not only dried out the race track but also brought out a much larger crowd than had attended earlier in the week. Those present also got a glimpse of a very promising candidate for the F'uturity when Harry Payne Whit ney's John P. Grier captured the last event on the card in a manner that stamped him as one of the best of the two-year-oIds
 ID revert to NIlkmald, this daugh- ter of Peep O Day was obliged to carry l2O pounds and concede weight to all her rivals, which included some of the best spriuters among the Allies and mares. Perhaps the best of these was withdrawn when Endlade was scratched, she having run the day be- fore. But there remained Passing shower, which ran second to Pur- chase at Saratoga; Ballet Dancer, 2d, and Pen Rose, besides those already mentioned.
 The fact that NIilkmaid had been accustomed to a greater distance and had won all her important victories at mile or more created the i'm pression that six furlongs was not suf-
 icient for her 10 develop her speed For this reason she was quoted as good as 2 to l, though ruling favor ite at post time. Pen Rose, which had not run since early in the season ar Maryland. but which was a sensa- ton as two-year-old last year. came back to the races with great promise and was regarded as the one to give MLikmaid real tussIe. It turned out that Pen Rose needed a race before she could show her best. for she was never better than fifth in the running of the race.

uous career within ropes did his nerve desert him.
 Sullivan's fury was greater than his distress. After delivering several scorches to Kilrain's ribs, John, still green in the face from his ailment, closed with the Baltimoreoan and threw him to the turf where "Sully'' rolled over him in distress as his opponent lay prostrate. You cannot make a seasick sailor go up the rig ging or scrub deck-the gamest of them-but Sullivan was a harder product than the sturCiest mariner. He staggered out to meet the most formidable antagonist of his uay Tn a moment when he was a fit subject for a hospital cot.
 Staggered out. grappled with his man and bested him, too. It makes a veteran fan smile when he recol- lects the doggedness of John L. Sul- livan and then cites the comparative trifles which boxers utilize to quit in about these days.
 Jess Willard was game when he came up seven times for the murder ous wallops of Dempsey at Toledo no doubt about that. Nevertheless if is hard to imagine John L. Sullivan losing his title sitting on his stool in a corner of the ring. Sullivan would give combat though every fibre of his fighting machinery had been scut- tied. The handspring -unfaiterins nerve - was impregnable to fists of fear.
 Sullivan's battles with Kilrain marked the last bare-knuckle contest in America. In many respects 1t stands as one of his greatest ring achievements. John struggled with his stomach and Kilrain and was sue cessfuI with both. In the forty-seventh superman who could whip great pugilists when he himself was giddy from nausea, gave a wonderful ex- hibition of dauntless fighting courage After several terrific exchanges Mi rain ran into a wild fight which had all the venom of the sickness which was grappling with Sullivan's forces of pluck. His seconds carried him to his corner.
 Had Kilrain taken the initiative and slugged with Sullivan in any round from the forty-sixth he prob

Come on and fight---you loafer." snarled John L. Sullivan as he reeled into a clinch with the redOu btable Jake Kilrain in the forty-sixth round of their mem orafble battle in Richburg Mills, Mississippi, thirty years ago. Filrain had politely asked the old Roman if he cared 10 fight any more. And that was Sullivan's answer.
 The answer and the indOmitable fighting spirit which dictated it were typical of John L. Sullivan, peerless American fighting man. But he un- derstOod the entire significance of Sullivan's retort let us unfold the picture of The Boston Strong Boy just after he had retired to his corner at the end of the forty-fifth round. Sullivan had just after he had retired to his corner at the end of the forty-fifth round. Sullivan had just terminated the round by throwing Kilrain with a "cross but tock'' and jumping on his head with both knees a legitimate method put ting a period to a session in those days when rounds were called closed by either both men, falling to the ground.
 The forty-sIxth round was about
 
 with a violent attack of stomach trouble. With a audiences which disconcerted his packers and handlers Sullivan kneeled over and buried his head in his arms on the ropes in his corner. A deathly green palor spread over his features and he began to vomit. Those who had followed the old Roman through his best battles knew that his stomach had gone back on him-the very worst thing that can happen to a fighter outside of nerve doing the same thing. Although Sullivan had had the better of the battle up to this point his sudden physical collapse appeared to point to Kilrain as the victor. Jake peered over from his angle of the ring and came to a similar conclusion. Sul- livan's seconds worked frantically over their charge and restored the Strong Boy to a state where he was at least able to dealOgue which ap- pears in tho opening of this story took place.
