ltl.a no moi
an advantage of about seven lengths, and
was never headed, winning handily by three
lengths from Bootmaker and Monsoon fair
third. Time, / :OSA.

Mutuals paid Sl7.4O. Daily led Tor the first
half mile and then gave way to Johson. At
the home turn Fosteral assumed command,
but the 70 9-pounder showed fight at the bet
ting stand and came under the wire an easy
winner, beating Fosteral two lengths, John
son third. Time, 2:17l2 H. ,
Starters: Arundel, no; Headlad, III;
Myrth, 90; Somerset, 11O; Lepanto: III;
Marshall Luke, 11S; Calcutta, los. Betting
first heat: to 2 Marshall Luke, 6 to 1

cutta. The favorite led for half the distance.
but Somerset passed to the front, winning
the heat by two lengths from Myrth, Arundel
third Time, :4SI2. Second heat betting:
l to Somerset, to l Myrth and Arundel,
II to Headlad and Lepanto. Arundel was
the favorite, and heavy backing cut the odds
down to 2 to 1. Lepanto toobthe cad and
kept it Tor five furlongs, closely followed by
Headlad and Somerset. In the turn he lat :
ter fell back. Arundel came forward win
ming by half length from Headlad, with
Myrth a poor third. Time, :5214.
The rule is absolute that every horse
distanced in heat race is to go to the
stable. 1t is also peremptory that every
horse which has not won heat at the
close of the second heat shall leave the
track In this instance Somerset won
the first heat in the fifth race, and this
was neutraliZed because he was COM
PEELED to withdraw, as he was distanced
in the second heat. With Somerset out
of the way at the end of the second heat
Arundel was the only horse in the two
heats which had won heat, conse-
qnently he was the winner of the race,
and Headlad, who was second to Arun-
del, and who really had no competitor
for that position, must be considered
second and Myrth third.
