afternoon whilo tho horses were being grouped
for a start in the opening race, and crashed
through the fence at tho sevon.furlong chute,

and is the animal which ran through the fonco

but Sims shot Myrtle Hardness to the front at
the start and led al the way. Cromwell, after
being kept out of it in the early part of the race,
closed very fast, and only failed to get up by a
