ensued. Little Esperanto ran out in front,
but Minnie Elkns passed her on the back
stretch and was first around TO the three
quarters, the remainder. however, all in

the favorite went to the fore and EsperanZa
came up On the rails second, Minnie ElkiDs
dropping back last, while Captain Al made
n struggle on the outside but TO no purpose.

The one and quarter miles race was the
medium OF spirtet speculation. IL Ray0
was picked upon to beat old Applause on
the strength of his win on Thursday, while

The favorite was first around the bend for
