the opening day. after five hot heats Mary
proved the winner, but to-day Maggie most
decisively reversed the verdict then re-

the quarter anu half. Round the turn Mary
broke twice, but kept on going after Maggie,
who was four lengths ahead at the three

every inch of the way home and but for
NiOgel's clever handling might have taken
the neat, which she only lost by neck, in
2:2I54, giving Maggie the race. The success
of the La Siesta cOiorS was most acceptable
