N The same race three days after he had won the
Futurfty in n NastUrtium's time yesterday was

the track is faster than II was last year and that
tts greater age is an additional reason for better

II appears doubtful 70 many turfmen if the pub

Yankee should not have been started yesterday
in the Flsthush Stakes, unless IL is that ny Whit

kept out Of 81 races in which Nasturtiun has
started since she beat hin in the Great American
Stakes, after the colt had been knocked 10 his knees

Turner did not repeat yesterday his inexcusable
error OF Saturday. Nasturtiun sent out al

Il was great day for watercress for not only
did Nasrurtium win. but another son OF his Water

Dolphin Stakes with ridiculous ease from Autolight
and Little Daisy. Blues Dublin, Sarner Baron
Pepper, Far Rockaway. Chuctanunda and Paul Cliff

appeared, and the black colt had practical walk
over, finishing eight lengths before Autolight.
