For 40 minutes the rain came down in a torrent, but just before the call of the bugle it settled to a steady drizzle and it was drizzling when the race was run. When the barrier shot up a few minutes after 5 p. m. the yells of 28 jockeys could be heard above the deathly silence urging their mounts forward as they attempted to get the advantage of the break. Misstep with Jockey Willie Garner on his back got in front with Distraction second and Reigh Count breaking third. In a_ twinkling, the onrushing mass of horses was thundering down the track past the grand stand and headed for the first turn. The pounding of 22 sets of hoofs became a roar of distant thunder which was gradually drowned out by the yells of thousands in the stands. Blackweod Leads As the 22 thoroughbreds swept past the stands for the first time, Blackwood was leading by twa lengths with Misstep second and Marty Flynn third. In the back stretch Reigh Count came out from behind the pack and with Jockey Lang wiacrously applzinr- the w began to close in on the leaders. Lang was crouched low on his mount and seemed to be talking to him, urging him to greater effort. Seemingly, Mrs. Hertz’ entry re- sponded, for as he passed around the turn and into the stretch, he was running strongly and gaining inch by inch on Misstep. Mud splattered from the heels of the thoroughbreds’ onto those be- hind them and onto frantic specta- tors hugging the inside wall. As the horses came near to the finish line, Lang, on Reigh Count, and lity to| Garner on Misstep, began applying ity | the whip.
