Saturday were inclined to the theory that Mr Barretto had erred by stopping his watch as Whisk Broom II Hashed past the regular finish pole instead of the special finishing point for this race about thirty yards further on But when asked alxmt this important point Mr Barretto de ¬ clared positively that lie bad made no mistake that lie started his watch when the yellow flag at tho barrier was dropped and stopped it when Whisk Broom II reached the special judges stand where another time Hag was used as a finish signal W C Edwards who was in the timers stand backed up the veteran official in this contention Furthermore Louis Garth a well known trainer declared that he timed the race in 200 Deputy Fire Chief Lally of Brookyu who times many races for amuse ¬ ment said his watch showed that the Whitney racer ran the last mile in 1 This would bear out timer 15irrettos figures for he timed the first quarter in 24 the half in 47lf and the threequar ¬ ters in 112 Whisk Broom II therefore running the last half mile according to the Barretto watch in 4S by no means impossible As the Barretto figures are official the record will stand
