The first quarter was caught in 24%, half 191;. three-quarters in 1:17 and mile in 1:44%. Both colts pulled up fresh and could probably have gone a couple of seconds faster. Donges worked with the four-year-old Washington. The latter is a big horse purchased by John S. Ward at the recent sale of the H. H. Hewitt estate. Donges had a hard time in shaking him off.
