latter taking second position at the draw
gate finished next to Ramsdell's FLY and
two lengths in front of Jovita.
For the second race Middleton and
Zampost opened up as equal favorites at Z
10 and closed at the same price. Blizzard
was backed down from fifties to wenties,
while Francisco had plenty of friends at
II to l. The weight of the money was,
however, behind Middleton. The over
con fidence of his rider probably cost him
the race. He was off in the lead when the
flag fell and had such decided lead at the
stretch that it seemed impossible for any
horse to catch him in the run down the
straight. At the seven-eighths pole Hen
messy could not have apprehended any
danger, and Madison. who was working
hard on Zampost. had spared not single
effort, managed to get up alongside at the
drawgate and in rafting finish won
right under the wire by neck.
Charmion was the choice of the talent
for the third race and was very heavily
backed. She opened at TO 5. but went
back for short time to to 2. and even
fives, but the money that went in on her
just as the horses went to the post soon
brought her to 5 to 2. Although Tigress
was chalked up at 2 to l. to 2 and to l
comparatively little money was invested
on her. Both Monowai and Sir Reel were
well played. the former being backed
down from seven to half that price, while
big plunge by Riley Grammar on Pescador
brought that horse down from skies to
tours.
Tigress went to the front after the first
few strides and making the whole of the
running won in gallop by three lengths
from Charmion. who. although well off at
the start, commenced almost Immediately
to lose ground TO such an extent that she
was last on the far turn and she must have
come very fast after entering the stretch
to get the place. Monowal ran very disap-
polntlngly. as did Sir Reel.
Joe Cotton and LottIe ID were two horses
that divided donors in the betting from the
time the books opened till they closed.
From threes Joe Cotton was backed down
to Z to g. while about LOtte ID at the finish
to 8 only was obtainable. There was
wild tip out about Mestor. who with Irving
up received considerable support, while
old Stoneman was nibbled at to some ex-
tent though he went back from TO / to
hfieens. There was coin. too. for North,
who was on offer at the close at skies.
Joe Cotton was passed in the first few
strides by Lottie ID, who opening up big
gap soon showed that she was the only
horse in the race. winning with the great
est ease by six lengths from Stoneman,
who occupied second position the entire
journey. Joe Cotton could only land home
third. after hard struggle with Charger.
His inability TO hold his own with such a
horse as SLOVENIAN, whom he could always
choke TO death at any part of a mile, is
more astonishing he more one thinks Of it.
