purse over the five furlong route AT
Jefferson Park to-day. The return OF
mild weather had It's evident effect on
the speed of the course. the thorough
breds and the spectators themselves
for the crowd was reused to an un-
usual demonstration after the finish
of the third race when IL majority dis
agreed with the official placing.

finish of the third when Lieutenant Per
kins was awarded first place. Due to
Lyke's presence astride Hidden Jewel
that filly was heavily supported, and
| those of her hackers who stood below
the finish thought she got up in time &c
snatch victory. Groans and catcalls
continued for several minutes after the
official placement. To those directly be-
hind the finish there was no doubt that
Perkins had lasted just long enough and
that the better reason for Hidden Jewel s
defeat was Lyke's failure to follow
closer to the rail through the stretch
