''CHERRY AND BLACK" 



delicate horse could not have sustained. His kinsman, 

 Luke Blackburn, had similar defective action, but he 

 also had the same enormous power to counteract it. 



And now, after months of discussion as to their 

 merits, the rivals were at the post. PIzarro lashed out 

 with his heels, and at the second attempt they were off. 

 McLaughlin rose In his stirrups and gave Kinney a 

 terrific cut with the whip, and was three lengths to the 

 good in an Instant. At the "Bluff" Feakes had brought 

 PIzarro within a length of Kinney, and 

 ^rge tnney ^^ ^^^^ turned for home the pair were on 

 even terms. Amid great cheering, both 

 jockeys began whipping. Head and head they came. 

 Then Kinney swerved a trifle and there was a shout 

 "He 's beaten," but he drew away again as Feakes eased 

 PIzarro when he found he was beaten, and Kinney was 

 adjudged eleventh winner of the Withers. 



"They '11 have to bring a better colt than that from 

 England to beat Kinney," said Mr. Phil Dwyer. 



"He was pretty close at times." 



"Yes," replied Mr. Dwyer, "at the club-house and 

 on the lower turn. There 's a hill at both places. Rowe 

 told Jimmy to ease our colt there, and each time 

 PIzarro closed our colt always left him again." 



"My colt did not run to his trial form," said Mr. 

 Lorlllard. "He ran a faster trial and was n't as tired 

 as he was to-day. He could have made a closer finish, 

 but Feakes eased him when he saw he could not win."
