ne Dime, Wissahicon, 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,
Wissahicon ninth. Mile 1:45; race 2:37.
