ance was light at jerome Park to-day,
but there was more or less excitement
over three very close finishes. The
first was in the two-year-old hanGi-
cap, in which Sir Dixon, Jr. won from
Cockade by short head, with Utica
| short distance away.
The next was in the fifth race for
| two-year-olds, when Taylor and Dog
gett rode Albert A. and Mid-Star.
| They had hard drive oil the way
| through the stretch and so close were
| they at the finish that the Judges
could not separate them and dead
heat. In the run off Mid.Star won.
The sixth race was also tight fit and
Bergen and r. Doggett fought out the
| last eighth OF mile on Adelbert ana
Terrapin with whip and spur aud Ber-
gen finally won by q bead oy Sneer
