The track was heavy, and Withdrawals
were so numerous that only two started
in the fifth and three in the sixth race.
The last race developed into a farce
The conditions called for a. mile and
ee-quarters over the Withers course.
On the start Spurs, Odom up, and Ju-
lius Caesar, Slack up, went out to
make the running, but instead of turn
ing across the Withers bend went on
over the hill course. Wilson, on Maid
of Harlem, had his wits about him,
took the right course and practically
had a walkover. Odom saw his mis-
take when rounding the upper turn.
and he pulled up and went back, taking
his horse over the course for second
money. Slack kept on, however and
was disqualified, as he had not gone
the right course. Both boys were
called up in the stand for an explana-
ton, but nothing was given out by
the stewards.
