so blithely handing out cups to the
Northwood and Wadsworth stables,
they might pause to remember a horse
named Chatterplay which started
twice in 1885 and broke records both
times.
Aside from Fugitive's victory and
Lucier's creditable second at Camden,
the high spots were Rigan McKin-
ney's cleansweep Of the two fat tests,
each time riding an outsider to beat
the odds-on favorite; the terrific spill
sustained by Col. F. S. Greene's Drill
master-he hit the ground so hard
he turned up his toes and looked as
though he never would rise again,
but later jumped up and cantered
away just as every one was giving up
hope; Crystal Dawn's fall, which
presented Dickie Wallach of War
