assembly of note worthy proportions nlled the
grandstand and the clubhouse and overran the
lawns when the bugle sounded for the first race.
There was also an interested throng of pencil
wielders before the big official board to take note
of the scratches, additional imposts OF weight
which the handicapper's supplemental figuring had
snduced him infiict, and last, but not by any
means least as the event proved. the additional
starters. Much disappointment was caused by
William C Whitney's decision 10 withdraw Gold
smith from the principal Of the day, but Gold
smiths trainer, c. +. Hin. did not wish TO take
any chances with the Meddler colt in sprint down
the Eclipse hill in such heavy going. The Morrises
too, withdrew of their entries. Compute, con-
tent TO leave their prospects for the race in the
hands of that other Hanover colt, Saturday. The
vacancies more than made good in numbers

starters. These were N. Murphy's chestnut colt
Dean Swift and brown filly Blanche Hermann, w
C Daly's Carroll d. and J. +. Madden's Meddler
colt Peninsula All the candidates were inspected
in the paddock by big throng Of sharps as closely
as was allowed by the blankets and hoods neces-
sary TO protect the valuable youngsters from the
bad weather. As matter Of course, each racer
was closely scrutinizec as he came out Tor MS

Line Blanche Hermann and Saturday, who had not
started before. and Cunard, who had not raced in
the East. Most of the two-year-olds appeared in
fine fette and full of running, and their respective
hackers poured into the ring 10 register their judg
Inent by means Of cold cash.
Cunard and Golden Cottage were coupled by the
layers and were made a strong first choice from
the start They opened at TO 8. and the price
suited so many bettors that Il rubbed to
6 TO 8, and there IL stayed. Saturday made
second choice at 10 on account Of his breeding
and stories afoat about his fast trials. while Car
roll D., whose races at Morris Park had not
stamped him at all dangerous quoted In
many books at 100 TO ], with 60 TO for the place.
Some lucky money was attracted by these odds and
the Hastings colts quotation reduced to GO TO

keep his mount straight when 1t came 10 a drive

others were long chances Of greater less degree.
IL did not take Mr. Fitzgerald long TO get the
field of TO good start The two-year-olds proved
10 be an uncommonly well behaved lot and the flag
fell the second break. The heavy track pre-
vented any dust at the start, and the entire
assembly in the grandstand rose at the flash of the
yellow flag the thirteen racers shot away down the
hill. Mcdowell slightly in the lead and Firing Line
q bit 10 the fore Of the rest. Cunard quickly got
his stride however and shot his nose ahead of his
stable companion. who had also caught Mcdowell.
These three raced practically even terms TO the
dip In the course, and to the last furlong pole,
when the watchers redoubled their cries as il was
seen that the Goldfnch colt running true and
easily under OConnors skilful handling Carroll
