eral exciting races.
Bufroon Sentry. Handcuff, and kinni-
kinnic were all prime favorites, and fully
satisfied their numerous hackers by the
way IN which they lead their fields under
the wire. Midnight Chimes and Carbun-
Gle were both well played second choices,
and won well deserved victories. Burns
and McCue were the only winning jock
eys, dividing honors with three winners
each. McCue had trifle the best of the
day, however, for he added to his trio OF
winners, Carbuncle, Midnight Chimes, and
Kinuikinic. second on Mcleod of Dare.

Buffoon, Sentry. and Handcuff under the
wire ahead of their fields, and rode De-
canter close second to Kinnikinnic in
the sixth race.

home Sentry went to the front and won

In the stretch Carbuncle went to the
front when called upon and won cleverly
by half length from Rochester, who
came very strong in the last hundred
yards and would have won in a few more
jumps. Annoy was third. Asquith fourth.

a bad race.

and Death also ran. Start good. all to-
gether. Kinnikinic was quickest to get
in motion. and went to the front in a
flash. 1t looked as if he would win on the
bit, but Decanter, coming very fast in
the last hundred yards, Kinnikinic had to
be hustled at the end and only won by a
neck. With better racing luck Deaan;er
could not have lost, as he was clearly the
best at the weights. He was last coming
into the stretch and in trying to get
through got caught in several pockets. He
was coming like a whirlwind the last
hundred yards, and would have won in
two more jumps. At that "Old Kinni''
was stepping some himself.
