20 HISTORY OF THE 



The entire lot went away like a platoon of cavalry in line 

 to a beautiful start, Gen. Pike in the lead, Strathmore second, 

 Lord Murphy, who got knocked to his knees on the first turn, 

 third, Wissahicon fourth, Trinidad fifth, One Dime sixth, Ada 

 Glen seventh, Buckner eighth, Falsetto ninth. Half way round 

 the turn the lot were so closely bunched that it was impossible 

 to distinguish the colors in the clouds of dust. At the three- 

 quarter pole Ada Glen was first, lapped by Gen. Pike, Strath- 

 more and Lord Murphy. At the stand Gen. Pike was a head 

 in front of Strathmore second, he lapped by Trinidad, then came 

 the second division a length off, composed of One Dime, Wissa- 

 hicon, Lord Murphy and Ada Glen, followed by Buckner 

 eighth and Falsetto ninth. They had hardly gone under the 

 string until Strathmore was a length in front of Gen. Pike, who 

 was lapped by Trinidad. Going round the turn the pace was 

 fast, Strathmore still leading at the quarter pole. Just after 

 passing the quarter Lord Murphy took second place, One Dime 

 third, Gen. Pike and Trinidad dropping back. Before reaching 

 the half-mile Lord Murphy lapped and showed in front of 

 Strathmore second, One Dime third, Falsetto fourth. Lord 

 Murphy was a length in front on the lower turn and at the 

 three-quarter pole, Strathmore second, two lengths in front of 

 One Dime third, who was lapped by Falsetto. Entering the 

 stretch Falsetto came with a rush and passed One Dime and 

 Strathmore and half way down lapped Lord Murphy. A most 

 exciting race took place between the pair to within forty yards 

 of the stand, where Lord Murphy drew clear and won the race 

 by a length and a half, Falsetto second, three lengths in front 

 of Strathmore third, followed by Trinidad fourth, Ada Glen 

 fifth, One Dime sixth, Gen. Pike seventh, Buckner eighth, Wis- 

 sahicon ninth. Mile 1:45; race 2:37.
