he tip-toed the latter from start to finish,
winning by a couple Of lengths in 1:2S-a
remarkably good run. when the slow con-
dition OF the track is considered. From
a time standpoint 1t ranks as the best
performance of the meeting. The book
makers held Marplot at to 10, while
plenty of to was obtainable
about the winner. William OBJ was a
starter, but the pace was altogether too
warm for him. Little Devin, who rode
Mortnga, is a smart bit OF a jockey, and
with more experience will win laurels in
the saddle
