A rod in pickle from the famed flag gin grant was given a trial at Ingle- side yesterday. The rod in question was a grand-looking three-year-old bay colt named MaxelIo, a son of the dead sire Maxim and Daniella. He had nev- CT sported silk before, and was one of the six starters in the last race of the day, a six-furlong sprint. Although Walter Jennings. in whose colors the youngster ran, has sprung a number of hot ones" since the season opened, it seemed like asking too much of maiden to down such fast ones as Lord Marmion and pr. Sharp. The former was a 1-to-2 chance in the betting, and the short -enders unloaded on him. Against MaXello anywhere from 40 to 100 to 1 was obtainable. Lonnie Clay ton had the mount on the latter, and, getting him away in front, was never caught, winning by did not get the favorite away from the post any too well, and killed him off chasing the leader. The win ner covered the distance in 1:1414, which shows him to have been a very shifty maiden.
 Aside from this unexpected perform ance the first choices did fairly well, winning three events.~ Lonnte Clayton piloted two of the winners.
 The ElmWood Farms good colt, The Roman. proved himself to be made of the right sort of metal by his grand showing in the mile and a quarter handicap. He picked up 119 pounds, and after a most uneven voyage, dur ing the greater part of which Willie Martin had him pocketed, he came with a great rush at the end, Snatching vic tory by a nose from Morellito, ridden out to the last ounce by "Skeets'' Mar tin. The latter colt, just turned a three-year- is entitled to fully as much credit as the winner, for he was asked to carry 103 pounds, one pound less than his entitled weight, and com ing on from fourth position at the head of the stretch fought it out in the gam est possible fashion, being beaten out only on the last stride. The winners S time-2 :0712-is now the Ingleside track record. 'Ostler Joe was leading up to the last sixteenth, when he stopped badly under his poor plotting.
 The Corrigan entry, Geyser, was scratched from the opening mile event and Satsuma, with Thorpe up, was sent out 3-tO-4 favOrite Garland Barr and Judge Denny led to the stretch, where the favorite shot to the front and won with ease from Imp. Tripping poorly ridden by Clayton. There was no pace the first part. which accounts for the slow time-1:42A
 The fast colt Official took the sec ord event, siX-furlong sprint, in a driving finish from Chihuahua, and Owner Fully Coulter was compelled to stand a $400 boost. Chihuahua rushed to the front at the start, and was only nosed out the last jump by the Coulter entry, which ruled an even-money fla Vorite in the betting. The winner was piloted by young Gray. Good Friend ran a vastly improved race over his former attempt, finishing third.
 On Tuesday Joe Ullman. with Willie Martin in the saddle. was beaten by Kamsin in a siX-furlong run, won by Kamsin in the slow time of 1:17h. Backed down in the mile and a six teenth run of yesterday from j12 to 1 to 9 to 2, he made the running. and made a fairly good field look like a band of crabs" Palmocita, the favor ite, knocked about considerably. came fast at the end, taking the place from Meadow Lark.
 Myth, carrying the colors of Kittle- man Bros, was a pounds better horse than he was on Tuesday, and, starting a mild 3-to-1 favorite for the mile and a sixteenth selling run, fifth on the card, made an end to end affair of it, beating out Fashion Plate a neck in
