pole, but at the outset Rose Leaf spurted
and took it away. Rose Leafs triumph
was brief, however, for Lady Eloise had
the race as was shown Throughout, Dyer
holding her back manifestly, and yet
keeping easily ahead. Rex got himself
together and took second place from
Rose Leaf. The three came in well to-
gether.

triumph for Lady Eloise. Rose Leaf
passed Rex early and at the half had a
long lead, but on the last quarter Rex
picked up and passed Rose Leaf in a
spirited burst of speed. Time, 2s9 Ia

usual; but Rose Leaf pressed up closer
than unsual at the close, and although
Rex came In second, Rose Leaf was given
second place. Rex having broken. Time,
