away from the maiden class by winning the
second race after hard drive with Rose
Dance and Elmer, each to 1. Had there
been a less vigorous rider on Canvass he
would still be maiden. Taral worked like
beaver from start to finish
Strephon at weights looked to be sure
winner of the third race, especially as Ber-
gen had the mount and bookmakers were
forced to send him to the post to favor
lite for the third race. Dagonet, at to l,
led from the start to the finish, his owner, M.
+. DwYer, the famous plunger, not having
bet penny on him to win. Miss Dixie, the
8 to second choice took second and Sire
