When TIE horses and jockies' names
went up on the beard there was much
disappointment for Jean Beraud and
Ethelbert were among the missing, and

test. The attendance suffered because
of the weather, and it was not one of
the old-time handicap crowds, with the
grand stand packed to sufOcation. Not

was first to poke his nose out of the
lot as they came splashing down through
the stretch, and all the jockies making

a neck the best of the former leader
who was a neck in front of Survivor. who
had made break from the rear in wild
bid for the rich purse.
As they cut into the home stretch
Mitchell drove Herbert through TIL
bunch and at once Strengthened out for
the final rush. Kinley Mack had a length
the best of it and the crowd began to
shout for him.
McCue went past the Judges with a
good bit up his sleeve, an easy winner by
length from the favorte RaffaellO who
was half length in front of the second
choice, Herbert, only a head in front
of Survivor The others were far back,
badly beaten, the grand mare Imp, stag
gering along far in the rear, tired to
death in the heavy going.
