The racing at Morris Park yesterday was far inferior

for years. little relief from the excessive heat could

we're afflicted IN body by the weather and in purse by
the plungers, because four heavily backed favorites

lavish friends. A cloud cast over the pleasure
Of the afternoon by the many Withdrawals from the
vreedland Handicap for three-year-olds. IL was
evident that most Of the owners and trainers VINO had
entered horses did not think that the Handicapped had
given them a chance against ST. F1ortan Hence only
tr lightly weighted colts Of poor class against the
bjg chestnut son Of ST. Blase. Lttlefeld was on ST.
FOran, and this explained the possibility OF get'ng

had been the colt the betting would probably have
been about to 5. Foxhall Keeses Alcina cot led

to use the whip 90 ST. Floran. He answered Well
although his bride slipped, and won the race by

Montana came out for the first time this year. and
won the second race easily that people began to
talk about his Suburban chances on Saturday. But
Montana must meet very different field In the Sub
urban from that which he defeated yesterday. Little

mile. She got second place. On saturday he went
straight the front with her and let the field chase
