I'D. Galen cantered away from the two
vear-oIdsi in the first race at Washington
Park to-day, and won in l:l515. 1t was
only a question of how far Galen would
beat the field. and Turner almost sawed
his arms of trying TO keep the colt from
running away with him. Inc second
race had only three starters, ana II was
won without effort by PINK
Cottage. who laid back until
the stretch was reached and then
came away, leaving Won Tromp and
Willis to fight for second money, the
former taking it by neck. Bankrupt
was plunged on for some reason OF
other in the Avondale handicap, out
when the stretch was reached he was
pumped out. and Dyer won by three
lengths with Col. Hunt second. cara
G. the fayOrite, took the fourth race,
after a neck-and-neck finish between
the winner. Cupid and Pat Donovan,
who came under the wire III the ORDER
named. The talent were badly slnged
in the last event. They had picked
Lizzie B for a winner, but the result
proved that the company was 700 IaSG
for her, as she finished a rather poor
third. Harry eileen was never headed'
and won in walk with DOuSman second
Mr.. Gray, the owner OF OaleI' Was
asked by reporter this afternoon, II lie
contemplated to arrange a match later
in the season between the colt and the
crack two-year-Old Kentucky Colt Proc
tor Knott. who defeated Galen in the
race for the Futurity stakes. MI. Gray
said that he hadn't the remOtest idea OF
doing so. His colt was entered III
number of stake events, which, he Sald,
were more valuable to him than match
with Proctor Knott for a big stake. lie
was opposed to such events on general
principles, as they created diScord and
bitter feeling among hOrSemen. he did
not care to push Galen 100 hard this
season. Galen will start next at La
tonia.
