A DEAD HEAT
IN STAKE EVENT
Dorante and General March*
' mont Finish Equal.
AFTER It KENT MCE
The Game Thoroughbreds Cheered on
to Victory by a Tremendous Crowd.
Over 8,000 Being Present.
A tremendous crowd turned out tcN
witness the races at Terrazas Park
yesterday afternoon, just a little over
five thousand people being on tho
grounds by the time the horses parad-
ed to the post for the third event of
the afternoon.
I-t was a beautiful crowd, the sec-
ond largest one in the history1 of the
plant. It was a crowd that came
prepared to witness one of the finest
day's sport ever offered at a winter
meeting and they were not disappoint-
ed as never before on a race track in
America has a finer day of sport been
provided than that furnished yester-
day at Terrazas Park.
The large and spacious grand stand
was comfortably filled by the time the
horses paraded to the post for the
second event, while down on the lawn
and along the rail was almost two
thousand more, all there to witness
the grandest-of all sports, the sport
ot kings.
The feature of the day dnd the fea-
ture of the entire meeting was the
running of the Victoria selling slakes
at one mile, which resulted in a dead
heat between Dorante, the favorite
and General Marchmont, after one of
the finest races of the meeting. A
field of but four horses wpnt to the
post In this event but it was a field
as evenly matched as It were pos-
sible to get one.
When Cassidy gave them the word
for a beautiful start, one of those ef-
forts which have brought him recog-
nition as the premier starter on the
turf today,' the field left the barrier
on a line and raced as a chariot team
until well out of the chute when
Green Seal, carrying the colors of the
S. T. James stable and with little Al<
len In the saddle, took the lead, show-
ing the way as they went down the
back stretch by two lengths with the
rest of the field running almost on
even terms. Rounding the far turn
Green Seal still mainialned his lead,
with the others still closely bunched
within striking distance.
When the field swung around the
turn into the main stretch those in
the rear started to make their moves,
while Allen started to work on Green
Seal to make him hold his advantage.
When they had reached a point oppo-
site the field stand, the four horses,
comprising the entire field, were on
absolutely even terms. Then General
Marchmont was seen to slowly draw
out, and Dorante went out with hint,
the! other two dropping back beaten.
From opposite tho betting ring un-
til, the wire was reached, the two
game thoroughbreds, laying alongside
of one another, both on even terms,
fought gamely for the slight advant-
age of Inches, which meant victory
and the large share of the purse for
their owners. Both boys were riding
with all the skill they commanded.
McCullough on General Marchmont
and McGee on Dorante, the latter
handicapped by being on the Inside,
with the rail on one side and Gen.
Marchmont on the other.
It was a grand exhibition, one worth
double the price of admission. When
the field reaohed the head of the
stretch, the spectators felt something
of what was to come as the entire
stand rose as one body and cheered
the grand thoroughbreds as they
struggled for victory.
When the two boys rode back to
the Judges stand to weigh In, they
were both given a round of applause,
while tho horses themselves were not
forgotten. It was an Incident that
those who witnessed yesterday will
probably not see again for some
time. Although Its duplicate can be
looked for at Terrazas Park at any
time with the class of sport being
provided there at present.
The running of the stake event
was almost duplicated In the last
event, for although In the latter
event, the fieltl was strung out a lit-
tle at the finish from the time the
barrier was released until the head
of the stretch, the entire field ran
closely bunched, With the five on ev-
en terms at one point going down
the back stretch, the horse on the
inside being the only one in view of
the audience. It Is this class of sport
that Is bringing the large crowds out
dally to Terrazas Park.
Four favorites, with the other two
winners heavily backed, gave the tal-
ent far the best of it on the daily
argument and sent the large crowd
home In an • exceedingly good frame
of mind. It was the worst day that
the books have had In some time and
one that they will not forget for a
while. Jockeys T. Rice and McCul-
lough carried off the riding honors
of the afternoon, each having two
winning mounts to their credit on "the
day's results.
John Robert, from the stable of J.
E. Otto, started the day well for the
Lobby

talent by taking the first event of
the afternoon from a nice field of
youngsters, the winner holdbig the
post of honor as favorite in the bet-
ting at all times. The start In this
event was rather poor, Twenty One
and Tropical having little chance af-
ter the send-off. Queen Bee broke
first and showed the way until well
within the stretch where the favorite
caught her and had little trouble out-
gaming her at the end. Yanker, car-
rying the colors of W. E. Applegate,
finished a nice third In this event, be-
ing but a length behind Queen Bee.
Salali made It two straight for the
talent by taking the second event
rather easily from a fair field of 3-
year-otds. War Jig. with Benschot-
ten In the saddle and making his
first appearance at this meeting,
went out Into a long lead at the rise
of the barrier and attempted to make
a runaway race of the event. Round-
ing the tf.r turn he had a lead of four
lengths with the favorite that dis-
tance In front of Deadwood, who led
the others at this point In the run
winner all the way. Beach Sand,
came with a tremendous rush at the
end after being outrun to the stretch
turn and was a fast going third, Just
three-quarters of a length behind
Vreeland.
The fifth event of the afternoon
proved one of the best betting affairs
of the entire card, every one of the
starters coming In for a good play.
The winner In this event turned up
in Union Jack, nicely ridden by little
Allen. The start In this event spoil-
ed the chances of a great many of
the contenders as but the first four
aw-ay had and chance after the
break. W. T. Overtdn got away fly-
ing, but was outrun to the head of
the stretch by Union Jack. Keogh
tried to cut down the lead of the
pacemaker in the run home, but his
mount found the task impossible and
Union Jack flashed past the stand a
winner by a length, with W. T. Ov-
erton four lengths In front of Deneen.
The last event of the day saw Th>
Wolf, favorite In the betting, and
nicely ridden by Ted Rice, returned
through the stretch War Jig quit to a rather easy winner over a field
...... of five that paraded for the last
a walk, and the fiaforite, holding
his advantage to the end gamely, got
the verdict by a length and one-half
from Fritz Emmett, who came with
a great rush near the end and got
the place rather easily from Dead-
wood, “who beat the tiring War Jig
a nose for third money.
The. third race saw Maxim's Pride
and Vreeland open equal choices In
the betting with Dangerous March,
third choice. A heavy play on the
Fullep coly sent him to the post a
warm favdrlte at-8 to 5, while Vree-
land closed at 13 to 5 and Maxim's
Pride at fours. The winner In this
event turned up in Maxim's Pride.

and sent him right to the front, ail
though always keeping something in
reserve for the final issue. Going
down the back stretch the entire
field was bunched and it looked to
be anybody's race at this stage.
Rounding the far turn Salian and
The Wolf drew out a little from the
rest and showed the way well within
the stretch where The Wolf drew
away to win rather easy at the end
Ellerd was last rounding the far turn
but Molesworth saved a lot of ground
