Hands throatlatch. Half way round
the bend the two of them were at it
hammer and tongs.
1t was race that would have made
Mars throw away his spear in reckless
abandon. Nobody could tell which was
ahead as they fought it out around
the stretch turn. Down the stretch
chey came, stride for stride, the lead
boobing back and forth like the shut
ties of loom as each equine head
Strengthened for the succeeding leap.
At the eighth pole Yellow Hand ap-
peared to hang just trifle. Miler
pulled his whip and went to work with
might and main. Fifty yards inside
the, eighth Yellow Hand appeared a
badly beaten horse. He was under a
drive; Sande, handwriting Mad Halter,
had an advantage of more than half
length. But through the final six
teenth Yellow Hand came on again
He came as Man O. War came through
that final sixteenth of the Dryer when
John +. Grier appeared to have him
beaten.
Mad Halter bore out slightly through
the last fifty yards, but it was so
close none dared to hazard pick until
the numbers were hung up. Yellow
Hand had gamefully run himself into
the Hall of Racing Fame.
AS to Miss Joy, she is indeed a thing
of beauty and JOY forever. She is
just about the smoothest gated flly
you ever cooked an eye at and game
as they come. She didn't have to run,
but she was full Of running from
start to finish. The high class FLY
broke we'll with Garner, opened up
commanding lead, and simply buck
jumped all the rest Of the way home.
Over track that was still some
what heavy from recent rains, she
galloped the five and half furlongs
in in, the remarkable time of 1:oe 2-5
(the track record is held by John San
ferd's Tuscaloosa at 1904 $50, without
ever once extending herself at any
stage of the journey. Whether or not
there might have been another story
had the Rancocas Stables Kai Sang
gotten off with the favorite will have
to await another meeting of the pair
Minata Wins ShilIelagh
The writer believes Miss Joy could
have beaten Kai Sang about as far as
she pleased in any event. But the
fact remains that Kai Sang was off
sluggishly and forced to race upon the
outside. lie got within striking dis
lance in the stretch, but never was
able to make the lilly loosen Garner's
firm grip.
J. S. Cosdens Lord Baltimore was
the one to follow Miss joys killing
pace as far as he could. But Lord Balti-
more, was packing 127 pounds, and he
tired under the impost toward the end.
Lord Baltimore finished third, ali by
himself, though he was a length and a
half behind Kai Sang at the end
Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark's Minata won
the Shillelagh Steeplechase Handicap
at about two miles, under a perfect
ride by E. Haynes. This one lay off
the pace until Royal Arch and Syrdarya
had run themselves into the ground.
There was lot of sympathy for
Harry Payne Whitney when it became
known that his good horse John P.
Grier would not be seen during the
meeting.

and boxes were Payne Whitney, look
