Goldsmith Maid and Smuggler 53 



comparatively easy time in capturing first money, 

 and his confidence made the old mare the 

 favorite over the field. Smuggler was deemed 

 an uncertain horse, and there was no eagerness to 

 invest in pools on him. But the stallion was 

 cheered almost as warmly as the Maid, when he 

 jogged slowly past the stand. Lucille Golddust, 

 Judge FuUerton, and Bodine were also received 

 with applause. The great drivers of the country 

 were behind the great horses of the country. 

 Budd Doble pulled the lines over Goldsmith 

 Maid ; Charley Green steadied Lucille Golddust ; 

 Peter Johnson controlled Bodine; Charley 

 Marvin watched over the fortunes of SmuQrorler; 

 and Dan Mace was up behind Judge Fullerton, 

 having come from New York for the express 

 purpose of driving him in the race. Twice the 

 horses came for the word, and twice they failed 

 to get it. They were then ordered to score with 

 Lucille Golddust, and succeeded in getting off. 

 The Maid had the best of the start, and, quickly 

 taking the pole from Judge Fullerton, gayly carried 

 herself in the lead. It was where she was accus- 

 tomed to be, and so she trotted in the best of spirits. 

 Fullerton did not act well, and he brought up 

 the rear rank the entire length of the course.
