was never in doubt, but Hindoo had to have the whip, his jockey 

 giving him two raps as he entered the stretch, and he won easy 

 at the finish by four lengths, Lelex beating Alfambra half a 

 length for second place. The official time of the race, 2:40, is 

 not correct, but will have to stand. The party throwing the 

 flag threw it as soon as the drum tapped, long before the horses 

 reached the pole. The correct time is 2 :38^2. 



Calycanthus was not disposed to join his horses, but was 

 finally brought up, Lelex in the lead, Calycanthus second, Hin- 

 doo third, Getaway fourth, Alfambra fifth, Sligo sixth. Before 

 reaching the three-quarter pole Calycanthus took the lead, with 

 Lelex second, Hindoo third. Passing the stand Calycanthus 

 was half a length in front of Hindoo, second, who was a like 

 distance ahead of Lelex, third, followed by Sligo, Alfambra 

 and Getaway. At the quarter Hindoo was a head in front of 

 Calycanthus, Lelex third, Sligo fourth. Before reaching the 

 half Lelex was a length in front and the cry went up that Hin- 

 doo, who was second, was beaten, Sligo third. On the lower 

 turn Hindoo moved up and showed in front, and on entering 

 the stretch began to loaf a little, and his jockey gave him a 

 couple of raps with the whip as a reminder, and he came away 

 and won easy at the finish by four lengths. Lelex beat Alfam- 

 bra a half length for second place, after a whipping race home. 

 Sligo two lengths from Alfambra, fourth, Getaway fifth, Caly- 

 canthus sixth. Mile, 1 -A7 l / 2 ; race, 2 :40.
