clear out of the reach of
anything but a high-class horse.

Coming on the track, all the horses paraded in front of the grand stand
and were vociferously applauded. The enthusiasm which the two previous
races had in no wise affected, broke out in uproarous demonstration. Some
yelled for one and some for another just as fancy or interest suggested,
but the keen eyed judge of a race-horse could see the winner only in the
big, graceful chestnut, who apparently oblivious to the excitement of
which he was partially the cause, galloped quietly to the post.

It was comparatively a small field but starter Pettingill had to line them
up several times before sending them away in a bunch. In the break Lookout
and Linger went out in the lead, heads apart, followed closely by Mirage,
Buck McCann, Boundless and Plutus in the order named the latter getting a
little the worst of the start. Lookout shook off Linger in a few strides,
and at the quarter was an open length to the good, with Plutus and Linger
second on even terms, Buck McCann fourth, Mirage fifth and Boundless last.
Going under the wire for the first time, it was Lookout, by two lengths
and running easy, Plutus second, a head in front of Linger, Boundless and
Mirage about on even terms, with Buck McCann about a half length behind
them. At the first quarter, past the wire, the order had changed little,
except that Lookout had increased his lead and Buck McCann had moved up to
fourth position. At the conclusion of the mile the order had not changed
materially, but the scene shifted in the next quarter. Linger dropped out
badly beaten and Mirage, on whom Murphy was working with all his might and
main, began to go back to the trailer. In the meantime Lookout was romping
down the stretch, five lengths ahead of Plutus, Boundless and Buck McCann,
who were having a desperate fight of it. In the order as named last above
they came under the wire.
