There were five starters IN the first event
of the day-a five-furlong dash tor all ages.
These were Jennie MINER. Nipper, Alto

was made very promptly, with Prince in the
lead, Alto Milo second and the faY0rlte back
in the field. She never came out OF it from

Alto Mic out for the lead, and the horse re-
sponded with a turn Of speed that brought
him away ahead Of Prince as the race
swept into the stretch, Nipper running
next to the scion Of royalty, OF unknown
pedigree. In this order they came toward

the race for him as The horses passed the
three-ouarter post, Initiation still leading
Garcia second, Revolver third and Carter
Is fourth. This was the order down the
stretch and close to the last sixteenth. when
Weber began driving Carter 3 up, and
passing Revolver and Garcia with a rush,

during the whole mile. Long took hasty

merely let out little and won the race
easily, with Carter b good second and Gar

Only three entries were in the next event.
