the Lavant Stakes the feature of the occa-
sion, inasmuch as Mr.. p. Lorillard's stable was

p Lorillard's bay flly Geraldine, Duke
of Westminster's chestnut tilly Balblair,
alton and Mr. I. E. Walkers chestnut illy by
George Frederick out of Madame Eglentine.
The brother to Ersilia (bay colt by Rosicrucian,
out Of Hilda), by reason Of victories at New
market and EPSON. was made the favorite, and
Balblair as well as In Bounds were preferred
to the American filly, the principal reason being
that Geradine's stable companion Pappoose was
badly beaten in the Richmond Stakes yesterday.

Toto against Geraldine and 10 to each against
Sorcery Creation and the Madame Eglentine
flly. The confidence in Geraldine's ability
to perform well in the race, was shown when

and other Americans took 10 to 1 about her
frequently. The hackers of the favorite saw
their pet beaten every yard of the way, as Ger
aldine won in grand style.
When the flag fell Geraldine rushed to the
front and cut out the work at a fair pace, fol-
lowed by the brother to Ersilia, Balblair and In
Bounds. Clear Of this quartet came the bal
