Monitor Moni-tor third Drake Carter fourth Iroquois fifth Time of mile and a half 23b S The unexpected defeat ot Iroquois on Saturday has increased me interest in nis reappearance especially as Lorillard i was willing and anxious to back him I against bis conquerors for large amount The contest has now passed into history and those who had an abiding faith in the I winner of the Derby are crestfallen at his ignominious defeat a second time His performance today seems so inexplicable inexplica-ble for he was outpaced from the beginning begin-ning to the end not being able to get within striking distance of the others while his stable companion Drake Carter made a sorry show also All this looks unaccountable and no excuse can be made to explain away the second disaster dis-aster The shrewdest turf men were deceived and more so than Lorillard himself who should certainly have known condition of his horses through his trainer Those who saw the race on Saturday did not hesitate to back Iroquois Iro-quois and he became a favorite so much EO that 4 to 1 was freely offered against Drake Carter who had conquered both the Dwyer cracks while only 8 to 5 were offered against Iroquois It was said in extenuation that the favorite having been trained and run upon turf could not run I upon our dirt tracks but today Iro L 11 quoia could not rxieoti at ell on the contrary con-trary both Eole and George Kinney showed magnificent form especially Eole whose performance bore out the assertion that had Donohue been strong enough to ride the hone in the preceding race he would have beaten Kinney Donohues strength was saved today for he did not tide in the two preceding races and he was able to do Justice i both to the horse and to himself Although the time made I was half a second slower than in Saturdays Satur-days race it fully met the expectations under the weather conditione Saratoga 29Tbree quarters mile Richard Lond first Enooy second Pow hattan third Time 618J One mile
