Rapid Water, generally looked upon as the least promising of the three horses that carried S. C. Hildreth’s colors in the race, finished second, six lengths behind the winner, and Temaceo, who, with Nealon, jade up the Durnell entry, was third, a half length in front of the poorly ridden Logistilla.

The public manifested a decided disinclination to support the entry of five horses to win, even though on form it appeared to be the biggest cinch of the meeting. The result was that the quotation against the entry steadily drifted back from 1] 1@ 3, the opening odds, to 4 to 5 at post i while Proper and Voladay, the owfsiders, were heavily and steadily backed.
