There was only short delay at the
post when the horses were sent away to
good start with Aunt Mary showing the
way. Clissie was the next pacemaker
and the pair alternated in the lead to the
stretch bend when Thompson came through
vita Johnny Williams and opened up a
gap of four lengths. With that lead Will
Jams looked like a sure winner, Irwin, how
ever swung wide with Good Order and
picking out the best going on the outside
rail he soon had Williams driving. A few
yards from home Williams swerved and
put Good Order the outside rail. Irwin
had to pull up and Williams finished half
a length in front of him. Springtime turn
ed Short in the stretch, and saving much
ground was a good third, with Clissie b
fourth The foul to Good Order was a
palpabe one and Williams was disquali-
fled.
