there was nothing to criticse seriously. but much

1t was a disastrous day for those who play
favorites, as five of the six suffered defeat the
break coming in the last race when pockets were
empty and there was little left with which to get
even. The bookmakers were, OF course delighted
to see the good things bowled over one after
another for they have had rather thorny path

The days sport opened with a dash over the
Futurity Course. for which Chesapeake was maze
a hot favorite. with Arab second choice, the two

at the start. yet it is doubtful II he could nave
any way. for Reckon was in a running mood,
and led from first to last. Herald was almost left
at the post but went after the others and at the
end beat out Julien. His running creditable.
and should warrant his winning in fair company.
