hird place, Boulevard fourth, Quito fifth. It
was a beautiful race round the lower turn. Entering the stretch Kimball
was at Fonso's quarters, the race being reduced to a match between the
two. Fairly in the home stretch both were whipping, Fonso answering gamely
to the three or four licks he received, came away and won a splendid race
a little over a length, Kimball second, two lengths in front of Bancroft
third, he a length in front of Boulevard fourth, and Quito four lengths
from him finished fifth. Half mile 53-1/4, three-quarters 1:19-3/4, mile
1:46-1/4, race 2:37-1/2. The mile from the stand back to the stand was run
in 1:44-1/4, and the last half mile in 51-1/4 seconds.

DESCRIPTION OF WINNER

Fonso is a dark chestnut colt, with a star and two white feet behind up
over the pasterns. He has grown and thickened greatly since last year, and
stands full 15-3/4 hands high. He is a very neat, wiry colt, with a good
head and rather short neck, which runs into well inclined shoulders. He
has great length of body, deep through the heart, good hips and stifles
with sound feet and legs. He has the best of tempers, and is rather
inclined to need forcing to make him run.

He was bred by A. J. Alexander, Woodburn Farm, Spring Station, Ky., and
purchased as a yearling by J. S. Shawhan, Shawhan, Ky., for $200, by King
Alfonso, out of imp. Weatherwitch by Weatherbit, her dam by Irish
Birdcatcher, out of Colocynth.
