came within head of landing the first
race, at six furlongs. with Is to against
him, carrying four pounds overweight,
which probably beat him. Charles A was
the to favorite in the rare, and won
through Bob Isom's good riding. There
was considerable play on McLight and
Dolly McCone.
Ell TiranO soon took the lead racing in
front, followed by Queen Bee and Charles
A. Entering the stretch e. Tirano led by
two lengths, Charles A occupying second
position, Queen Bee falling back. In

short six-furlong sprint, to his credit,
and can no longer be classed a maiden.
Mosby, My Sweetheart and Del NOrte
were all well backed. especially the latter,
who ran splendid race, after getting
away from the post very badly.
Charlie T took the lead as the flag fell,
and running in front all the way won
handily by three lengths. the real race
lying between Experiment colt and Del
Norte. the latter getting it by head at
the wire after great run from the rear Of
the field.

post time few of the bookies had the
temerity to chalk 1 to against her. Cor

were the other starters. and she simply
walked away from them, winning by
three lengths, pulling up. Hlnrichs, by
good riding on the Mura colt. beat Gordius

company, and running under restraint
won very handily by three lengths. Rob bin

threw in so much money on him he went
TO the post 2 to 1, with all of his brother
b0okmakers praying for his defeat.
Banjo at to was not second choice,
the public's money going in on him. Cap

Wandering Nun were the other starters.
They were dispatched to an excellent
start, all we'll punched. At the half Cen

Mainstay to the front, and the big Mariner
colt led into the stretch by three lengths,
