ond choice, could do no better than third.
The time, 210, was slow, and the track
was very heavy, and the crack horses were
out of the race.
When the horses and jockies named
went up on the board there was much dis
appointment, for Jean Beraud and Ethel
bert were among the missing, and all the
snap was taken out of the contest. The
attendance suffered because of the wealth

handicap crowds with the grand stand
packed to suffocation. Not more than
1900 persons were present.
The horses got off in bunch: Batten
was first to poke his nose out of the lot
as they came spleashing down through
the stretch, all the jockies making for
what looked like dryer spots in the tracks.
They passed the grand-stand the first
time with King Barieycorn, Betten,
Knight of the Garter, Imp and Kinley
Mack, noses apart. When they had reach

stretch. BarIeycorn had a length and half
the best of it, going well, to the surprise
of almost everybody. Next came Kin

Survivor, heads apart. Al this point it
was anybody's race. Up to the back
stretch they went, the speed not quicken
Ing to amount to anything, and in few
seconds they were at the three-quarters
pole and ready to round the upper turn.

in the heavy going.
