The Cherry Diamond Handicap was tho
chief contest OF the day, Mars Sleipner. Lean
TAXA. Kideor. Picknicker. Sir Matthew, and
Bolcro going to tho post Mars was consid-
| cred capable OF winning ms his race with Ban
| quet on Juno l. when he was beaten neck In
2:05H-remarkable time for n mile and n
| quarter--was one OF the best performances OF
tho year. Sleipner, however. was receiving
considerable weight from the Morris four
year-old, and Lakeland sending tho son OF
Mortemer to the post III for the race
OF his life, tho Rancocas-bred horse was in
stalled first choice. When Mr.. Rowo sent the
| seven contestants away to a beautiful start
| Loantaka and Bolero set O smashing pace,
| and opened q gap OF a couple OF lengths in tho
first half mile. In the straight Bolero dropped

Kildcer and Littlefleld on Mars. both improv-
| ing their positions. A quarter OF u mile from
home Hamilton went after his whip. and Loan
TAXA seemed to be master OF the situation.

ishment. and In the final furlong he had Loan
taxa in trouble. the brown horse faltering at
critical moment scipner then drew out

was made favorite at comparatively short
price. When tho flag fell the youngsters went
away in good order. but what at one time

averted at tho junction OF the circular and
straight courses. Professor s. carried The
