remained steadily at 2 to ! throughout
the betting. Few. comparatively,
caught the really good thing. Piccalo at
odds of to l. A great deal of delay
and consequent annoyance occurred
at the post. Piccalo and Sir Walter
Raleigh acted in turn as though they
were severely glued to the track, and
breakaway after breakaway occurred
with Knight always to the front and
fore. Thorpe was entirely too eager to
get off, and his zeal must have worried
and tired his mount.
After a half hour, in which the pa
tience of the audience became sorely
tried, the flag dropped and Sir Waiter
began proceedings by setting the pace.
Knight was on his saddle girth and
PiccOlo two lengths away. At the quar-
ter l. knight had the cOign OF vail
tage, which he held the length of the
back stretch when he was displaced by
Piccolo. and Sir Walter came third into
the stretch. Alice ID now began TO
move up very fast under the guidance
of KunZe, and she had an interesting
race with Sir Walter Raleigh for the
place. The finish was SO close, indeed,
that the decision of the judges was
questioned by the audience. The place
was given 10 Alice ID length behind
Piccolo, and Sir Walter was marked up
for third. Clever observers OF races
were sure Raleigh was second and that
certain bets-However, Alice ID got the
place.

Coda had an easy thing in the next
event. and those who had backed j l.
Knight as certainty were too much
daZed to play the full sister of Gold
stone, who had given such excellent eX-
hibitionS of speed earlier i'll the meet
ing. Coda, however, was the favorite.
She started al to and closed at IL to

times, for there was deep-Seated i'm

nored, save by those who play long

were to and 10 l, and Dave G went
from to l up to 40 to /, with few 10

Coda started like racer. and was
never headed from post to finish. Dave
G was second to get away with Linda
in the third place. At the half Linda
had moved up to second place and held
1t into the stretch. All whipped for a
few hundred yards. when the result
was apparently accepted by the locks"

allowed to come i'll at will. Prize was an
exception, however. From twelve

Sullross was hot favorite for the
next event. His performances certainly
| entitled him to this post of honor. He
was played heavily at 3 TO 2. The OPEN
| ing betting was of the most cautious
sort, for the odds were such that the
| bookieS must make big winning if
| there was much betting, because OF the
| fact that the money was sure to be well
| spread out over the books. At the post.
| however. the odds became more liberal
| all along the line, and the betting be-
came fast and furious. Kildare found
many admirers at to l, and pretty
| Lena Frey was the rage for few mo-
ments at to l. while London Smoke,
who had twice previously been hot
| tip. was backed in gOodly sums at odds
| of to |. and Costa RIGA at to was
we'll considered. There was little bet
! ting on the others.
! Costa Rica took the flag first, and
| showed the way to the far turn. while
] Tenor started second and Kildare third
At the quarter London Smoke exhibited
burst of speed, and showed colors in
| second place, and it was here that
| Woodberry moved up to third place.
So they ran to the three-quarters, when
Lena Frey came up fast and challenged
| getting the best of the struggle. She
! led into the stretch, but was beaten out
by Costa Rica by length. Tenor rum
| ming in third.

Then came the race of the day.
Queenly Yo Tambien was to attempt to
give weights to her rivals. Minnie Gee
was scratched. and few doubted her
ability to do the task cut out for her.
Her competitors were Lillian Beatrice
and Natalie, and the betting started at
to against 70 Tambien; but the rush
quickly changed the odds to to 10, and
then the playing became generally for
the place. That is to say, 70 Tambien
was out, and then Natalie was sold at
to 2, and again at 2 to 5, and Lillian at s
to 5.
Natalie set the pace from the post, and
Yo Tambien and Lillian passed the
