At the eighteenth fence he took the

From the start it was an exciting
race. The conditions were ideal ex-
cept that the ground in front of the
jumps was still little slippery from
yesterdays rain. Between the fences
the turf appeared firm and green. 1t
proved to the spectators that the old
and experienced horses are the ones
who can best take the long gruelling
stretches and the % high and solid
fences.
1t seemed, watching it, as though
the race were divided in three parts.
From the first jump to the seventh
Fugitive led over every fence and on
the fiat. The fast, powerful chest
nut of Tim Durant's developed a lead
of or 8 lengths over the field until
he crashed down on the seventh
fence, throwing Burling Cocks clean.
Cocks remounted him and for a mo-
ment it looked as though he were
going on, but the fall must have
Jared Fugitive because he drew up
and dismounted.
From the eighth to the seventeenth
fences Excess, j. Story Smiths horse,
with Sidney Hirst up, led the field.
Ross Of Friendsville, Garrett County,
placed third.
