and on the fifth race with ease. She was
a prohibitiye choice, closing at l to 2. Nor
rssey was fancied quite a little and was
backed from tlfFees down to twos just as
the horses Used up before the starter.

The distance just suited the Belle of
Fermoy and the handicappers got down
on her to a man. She rewarded their

got so far in front of her field in the fret
furlong that she was never caught and
finished five lengths In front of Herndou
who was one before Wyoming. The lat

lutely last and came like lightning W hen he
struck the stretch.
