yesterday was we'll up to the average. There
was scarcity OF special features on the card,
but considerable interest was aroused by the
handicap at one mile and sixteenth for

he was plunged on heavily to beat his five
opponents. He behaved very meanly at the
post. but after spelling several breaks he finally
wheeled and got Off with slight advantage The
Paget colt made practically all the running to
the stretch. and seemed to be coming home

lenged with Charentus. 1t looked as II Claw

out by u head. Lothario wound up good ten
lengths behind George keenc, and set many
