 by Statira. ONLY ONE FAVORITE WON Fine Sport at the Fair Ground Course Rosy Morn Sprung Surprise
 in the Third Event
 Today's Card
ONLY ONE FAVORITE WON

the uay was clOuuy anu lHC lidCh heavy a large crowd turned out to witness the sport at the fair grounds race course yesterday.
 It was d game of toss-up between the talent and the bookies and during the af- ternoon only one favorite won Several sec ond choices turned up successful, however. and made the game about even.
 Woodtrice, who has heretofore been in- vincible among the 2-year-olds was col Jared on the turn by Statira and went down in defeat after driving finish. Patton rode his mount hard, but the colt was tired and Statira was drawing away at the wire.
 In the third race Rosy Morn sprung quite a surprise by running through the bunch, taking Quaver off his feet and walking away with the race. Brown Veil, the second choice, got tangled on the start but little Waldo steered her around the bunch and got second place close behind Rosy Morn.
 Robert Bonner again got himself straight with the public by pulling down the last purse in a gallop. The big horse was sent to the front at the one and fourth, and maintained his position throughout the race. Chorus Boy Hampden and Liew Anna were played heavily but all were kept HNeN-N to finish.
 The Jockey club has put up an excellent card for today. On the list there are sey- eral good ones and another problem is up to the talent.
