trif1e ticklish: that is, it Will not do to
follow form with the same frequency and
reckIessness as in the days of yore. One
shining example of the scope and latitude
allowed certain Jockeys was furnished in
the second event ON the card yesterday, a
four and one-half furlong scramble for
two-year-olds. Among the starters was
Pat Dunne's slashing colt, Niton. which
opened 6 to 8 choice, carded to be ridden
by Willie Martin, the happy possessor OF
a ticket -of-leave from the Jockey Club of
the far East. Niton's owner, Mr.. Dunno,
Is a nephew of Ed Corrigan, the master of
Hawthorne and of Ingeside. His jockey

riding, but somehow or other has man

unenviable notoriety. We'll, this colt
Niton was played down at the opening of
the betting with rush.
Later two or three bookmakers were
pleased to accommodate spectators with

way, vanished two seconds after he had

attracted a larger crowd than on the
opening day OF the week. The first
choices IN the betting were again in win

hung up.
Outside OF Elsie Smith, the fifteen
maiden three -year-olds that went to the
post in the first event-a six-furlong run
were very poor lot. The Burns &
Waterhouse fiiiy was an IL to choice in
the betting, and skipping 10 the front al

all the way and won easily from Rosalbra,
the second choice. Altivo, the third
choice, secured show honors.
Pat Dunne's recent purchase, Hazard
was played down from to 5 to eyens and
