King has been installed in his stead. The new
king is Jerry Chorn, and at present he is the
shrine before which all the betting fraternity
are woTShipiug. ChorR did not have mount
in the first race, but brought in the winners OF
the three succeeding races and finished second
with Jake Johnson in the last race.

a single tavorite managing to poke his nose in
front.
The hackers of Tom McTague's FLY had
great cause for congratulatlOn in the first race,

stretch, not umbed and thrown her Jockey.

ond, then went on and won handily from the
favorite by two lengths. Haplein nipped third
place by head.
In the second race Jerry Chorn started in
riding with lucky streak that stayed with him
until the last run. The race was very OPEN

the betting between Sligo, Charlie I, Lawyer,
Gold Dust and Johnny Payne.
Johnny Payne. followed by Lawyer, headed
the field TO the head OF the stretch, when Carr
turned wide with Johnny Payne, and Chorn
making close turn with Lawyer, came on and
won with ridiculous ease by eight lengths. In

COchrane, beat Gold Dust out nose The five
furlongs was run in 1:0714.

10 o. ana was played down 10 even money
again. but is Tar from being the Wildwood of

Wildwood then took his place, but it was
PesKy's day, and he passed the judges four
lengths 10 front OF the once great Wildwood.
Del NOrte finished a struggling third.
The gray horse Grandee showed some of his
old-lime speed yesterday, ana walked away
with the fourth race III great style, with to
against him going to the post.
Red Bird, who has won a number OF good
runs lately, was OF course favOrite, going 10
the pest TO ., carrying his owners aud a lot
of outside money. Good odds could be had
against all the others. Condo being shortest 1t

Three Forks, He en- cred the stretch three
