344 RACEALONG 



In the interval the judges had a conference. When 

 it was over a messenger was sent for Gus Wilson, 

 an old time driver who was training a stable at 

 Cleveland. When he came to the stand Colonel 

 Edwards requested him to take the mount behind 

 Temple Bar and not to say anything about it until 

 the horse appeared on the track. 



Wilson went away to get his colors, gloves and 

 whip. When he returned he sat down under the 

 judges' stand near the scales, remaining there until 

 after the horses had scored once for the fourth heat 

 of the race. When they were recalled Colonel 

 Edwards stopped Temple Bar and requested his 

 driver to come to the stand. When he appeared he 

 was advised that Mr. Wilson would drive Temple 

 Bar during the balance of the race. 



As soon as the horse stopped Dr. Sayles rushed 

 on to the track. When he heard the announcement 

 he began shouting at the judges telling them what 

 he would do if they took his horse or injured Temple 

 Bar. As soon as he was silenced Colonel Edwards 

 told him that Temple Bar would be driven to win 

 if he could and for the balance of his threats they 

 would be taken care of after the race. 



From the time that the word was given in the 

 fourth heat Leicester was dead to the world while 

 the betting instantly flopped to two to one on Temple 

 Bar and even greater if anyone would take the short 

 end. Junemont was the contending horse in the 

 fourth and fifth heats, both of which were won by 

 Temple Bar.
