Nearly ten thousand persons attended the
races At the Aqueduct track yesterday after
noon A particularly attractive card and the
beautiful weather served to bring the en-
thusiasts out. and they enjoyed an afternoon
OF sport that was Of q high order OF eroetlenoe
Three winning favorites rewarded the players
OF form. and the other winners were all I'D
orally backed, so that the busy layers IN
the crowded betting ring did not carry on
the bulk OF the spoils. Starter Cassidy had
better luck than usual in sending away the
fields and there was very little fault-hndins
with his work. Shaw. Burns and Cochran
rode two winners each. The features OF
the programme were the Roslyn Handicap
for all ages at a mile and seventy yards.
and the Nassau Handicap for two-year-olds.
at three-Quarters OF a mile The former
event brought out an excellent field and
provided enough speculation TO make the
betting more than ordinarily heavy. Red
Path opened favorite at to ?. with Potente
and Kilogram both tempting the publicts
money at threes.
St Finnan and Peninsula were at eights.

a lot Of educated money, so that he and Red
Path went 70 the post equal favorites. while

that he soon had six lengths over st Finnan.
who led Potente by length. This was at
the three-quarter mile pole. where Ben Mao
Dhui had the race all to himself IL the
stretch he was eased up. but Shaw had TO
ride him out to the wire to hold his advan-
tage OF three lengths over st Finnan. who
held on 70 the place by length and a half
over Potente. the latter beating Kilogram
by a half length. The time was Las 3-S.
st Finnan's performance was especially
good iu view OF the fact that he carried 1923
pounds walsh's ride on Potente caused
considerable dissatisfaction
