CRESCEUS, 2:02 1/4 



as predicted when the stake was first opened it proved 

 to be the race that will be the lono;est remembered 

 of any decided durinc: the nineteenth century. 



The audience cheered Ketcham and the great stal- 

 lion again and a<:^"ain, and at last Ketcham was forced 

 to go into the judge's stand, where Starting- judge 

 Wheeler introduced him to the spectators. With a 

 voice hoarse from urging the champion, he acknowl- 

 edged the applause and expressed his gratification. 



The victory placed to Cresceus's credit the world's 

 record for a three, five and eight-heat race.
