New York June l3.-The great Am ~
lean stakes, worth to the winner Sl0.0p,
was the chief attraction at Gravesend to-
day. When it had been run there was
a great disappointment. for the crack OF
the year. Don De ORC, was in the also
rams" a badly beaten horse, who could
not show bit of the speed he had at
Morris Park. when he looked like thc
coming 2-year-old. The turns at Graves
end are short. however. and the big
striding 16-hands son of Rayon d'Or WAS
unable to negotiate them, as was The
case a year ago with Handspring. There
was a long delay at the post caused
chiefly by McCafferty Lamley and Clay
ton, which cost them $50 each and then
Finn caught them in line and away they
went. Rhodesia. the smart Keene lilly,
was the first to show out of the ruck.

The next furlong was run in IL sec

coming back to the others, as the pace
was hot and something was needed for
the finish. Taral concluded also that
he had better save something for the
rush. and as they passed the quarter

like a shot he went through it and as
