NEW YORK, June "A finer day and q
faster track could not have been desired fol-
to-day's racing at Morris Park. and the ex-
oellent card brought out large attendance.
The chief interest was In the Toboggan Slide
handicap. in which some Of the best sprinters
in America were engaged.
Only two Of the fifteen colored on the card
and Defargilla.
There was a long delay ut the post, but Rowe
finally got them of in good order and Cor
rection jumped at once to the front. She car
ried them along to the quarter pole In 221<
seconds, and to the nalf in 451f, and had
every one OF them digging their toes in at
that point. LittleHeld then took an easy pull
on the mare and she galloped home an easy
winner in 1:1015.
In the last twenty yards Stonenell shot out
OF the bunch and challenged Roche for the
place, but lost it by the shortest Of heads. 1t
was beautiful contest
The other feature was the Larchmont
stakes, in which Gotham did not start, and
keenan, was q 1 to shot. The Morris pair,
Mirage and Paladin, led all the way, and it
looked as If the former had a sure victory, but
she stepped on something and pulled up lame
in the third place. Paladin then went out
and won from Counter Tenor, who is not
anywhere near as good as he was at Graves
end.
The second race was q good one, too, for
Sport ran well for q change. and had no diff
Guilty in winning. He does better in small
field. Summaries:
