went away with Lucy r. length in the
rear, Leonore having the pole, while
Shamrock, Geronimo and Duchess were
in the order named. At the first turn
Leonore went to the front, with Sham
rock at her wheel, Geronimo, Lucy R.
and Duchess trailing close up. The two
last named broke, however, and falling
back II lengths or more were practically
out of the race at the first quarter. Leo
more, who was going like clockwork,
gradually increased her lead until at the
half she was a good two lengths ahead
of Shamrock, who broke badly before
reaching the turn. The black soon got
down to work again, however and recov-
cred some OF his lost ground in surpris-
ing style. He was up in the air again
half way down the stretch and Leonore
came away as steady as rock, winning
the heat with five lengths to spare from
Shamrock who was fully ten lengths in
Duchess were distanced. Time 2:25.
Pools sold; Shamrock, $40; Leonor,
$6 the field $6.
Second heat-At the second attempt
the trio went away, Leonore on the in
side going steadily, but Shamrock and
Geronimo both evincing aIdisposition to
break at the gate. At the seven-eighths
post both were up in the air with Leo
more good two lengths in the lead.
Shamrock was the first to recover and at
the quarter was closing the gap between
between himself and the favorite very
rapidly. Going down the hack stretch
Leopore maintained her advantage and
set the pace at clipping gait, out at
the half Shamrock got on even terms
with hor hv c,zIAov, IL ol~o
again at the turn, but got down to work
again Immediately and swinging round
into the stretch passed the favorite and
looked sure winner. Then within POO
yards of the wire, however, Shamrock
broke for the third time and Leopore
shot past him like an srrow and won the
heat by two lengths. Geronimo trotted
his last half mile in better time than
either of his opponents, but he was I'M
able to make up the ground he lost
before he got down to work. Time-2: 25.
Pools sold, Leonore $40, the field $l1.
Third heat The trio got off after
scoring four times and Shamrock made
rush for the lead. Before reaching the
quarter, however, he broke, and was
passed by the Others before he could re-
cover. Leonore then took up the lead but
was soon overtaken by Shamrock and
the pair trotted together wheelto wheel
to the half, when the latter broke.
Geronimo in the meantime dropped
back several lengths, but responded
nobly to Maben's appeal and gained
upon the leaders at every stride on re-
covering himself. Shamrock on getting
down to work again came up the stretch
at terrific pace, but under the whip
the game Ii tile Leonore made a last
effort and won both heat and race by
21a lengths. Four lengths separated
Shamrock and Geronimo. Time 2.29.
