Ask .Ma and Cosgrove fought it out like stake horses from the head of the stretch to tlie stand. Not only was it a grand test as between the racers, but for jockeys as well. Jockey Ford brought Ask Ma up on the outside as the turn for home was made, and draw ing up o:i equal terms with Cosgrove. he rode only with hands and heels, while Claver applied his whip.
