Echoes of the Carolina Cup and of
Camden are ringing throughout the
country as the sports magazine* come
out. "The Sportsman," "Polo" and
"Town ami Country" all have stories,
on the subject. The one in the May I
"Sportsman" is particularly interest-,
ing as it is by William Streett, who
rode "Pink Tipped," the winner of;
the Cup.
ITe takes the same view of the race*
and the finish as was given in this!
column in the issue immediately fol-j
lowing the race, namely, that it was I
a finish to be long remembered. Mr.
Streett after a vivid description of1
the race up to the fourth from the
last fence, goes on as follows:
"Just at this time a big chestnut
horse rolled up beside Us, atn-d I mean
to say he was really rolling. Ray ^
Woolfe was sitting up there with aj
grin on his face a mile long, and I
knew we had our hands full! 'Pink
Tipped' picked him up and we sailed
the next four fences stride "by stride.
It was really one of the stiffest contests
any of us had ever been in, in
our lives. 'Pink Tipped' was outrunning
'Hotspur II' on the flat, while
he, jumping like a hoi*?e on fire, was
gaining over the fences. It was such
a nip-arul-tuck affair, with such a
short run in after the last fence, that
halfway between the last and the
next to the last fences both Ray and
I went to the bat.
"We really went into the last fence
almost faster than horses can jump
timber, and both, who hadn't put a
foot wrong during the whole race,
made mistakes and swerved. Neither
fell, however, and the mare, recovering
herself more quickly, picked up
about half a neck advantage, which !
she held ont<> very gamely to tihe finish.
She couldn't gain another inch'
on 'Hotspur' and 'Hotspur' couldn't
. gain an inch on her.
"It was the most exciting finish
j I've ever seen on any race course." i
