most Again in Good Shape.

On Tuesday last the Australian. bred
mare Ivy, when ridden by "Skeets'' Mar
tin, finished behind such ordinary per-
formers as Ckappie, Roy Caruthers, So
miro and others in a five and half fur
long scramble, won by Morven. Yester-
day she came out in the opening mile
dash at Ingleside, and with as good as 100
10 1 obtainabe against her in the books
beat such company as Peter the Second,
Logan and Yankee Doodle. On the occa-
sion. of her previous bad showing the mare
was heavily played, yet the odds drifted
back from 31z to 3 10 L Martin gave as
an excuse for the poor ride furnished that
he bad been bumped several times and
hard as he tried 10 persevere with his
mount the mare would not try. In yes
terday's run Piggott piloted the Antipo-
dean.
In the betting Yankee Doodle opened a
2 to choice, but on report gaining cre-
dence that he was short" the educated
money went on Logan. The latter and
the odds-on favorite travelled in close COM
pany to tie bend for home, where Piggoit,
on Ivy, slipped through next the rail- and +,
although tlring at the end, downed Peter
the Second a head in the slow time OF
1:431z. Logan secured the show.
The climatic conditions were perfect for
racing, and another large crowd visited
the track. Barring one or two dumps
the talent Jared very well, though but two
pronounced choices did win, :he ma aiority
of the horses that crossed the line first
carrying more or less support.
In the mile and a sixteenth purse event
there were but five starters, with Pat
Dunne's good colt Salvable going to the
post an to choice, though at one time
to 1 was obtainable. From skies the
Baldwin entry, Argentina, was played
down TO 16 TO 8. At the post Greyhurst,
SuIsun and Argen tina caused conslG erable
delay by their unruly actions. When
finally sent away Greyhurst, with Suisun
at his head, sailed out in front at terrific
clip, fairly losing the others. When the
stretch was reached both began tlring, and
Martin, on Salvabie, making his move,
came on and won easily from Argentina
by less than a length in :4S3I
The finish of the third race saw Clissie B,
WoodchoppeT and Meadow Lark pass the
wire noses apart IN the order named.
Clissie and Woodchopper aIternated in
making the running 10 the stretch, where
the duo were joined by Meadow Lark and
. hot drive eDsued. Darlington on Clissie
b fairly outdld himself, riding like a vet-
eran and getting the verdict. The Is TO 10
tavorlte Olive was away poorly ana never
cut any figure IN the running.
With Mldlo scratched old Yemen with
T. Sloan up was backed down from to 5
and 8 10 10 favoritism and the chestnut
did the trick very cleverly. Sloan took
the lead from Jack-o-L Lantern at the first
jump and travelling at an easy pace led
Major Cook out by two lengths. Jack-o'-
Lantern received the show in drive.
The fve-furlong dash that followed was
the medium of q big plunge on SaIlie
Clicquot, which. opening at twos. was
ham mered down to even money in a sec.
ond. Celoso, which opened at z to 5, re-
ceded half point. The other starters re-
ceived but slight consideration from spec
