os!tion Of the afternoon, the ring han
ding al enormous amount of money.
IIatasoo, taking up t5pweight, 12i
pounds. opened an even-noney favorite
but she soon went up to to l. as the
money came in on Sister Juliet, who was
played down to twos. These fllies
closed equal favorites. Mike Dwyer'
fleet Femesole was also covered with
coin at az TO j, while Ascension was re-
duced to eights. Lady Holyrood was an
added starter. and for that reason many
accepted 80 to / against her.
The start was made directly in front
OF the grandstand. and was perfect.
Lady Holyrood got under way so swiftly
that she had length the best of it at
the lower turn with Sister Juliet Hata-
SOC. and Femesole following in the order
the backstretch, increased her lead to
three lengths, but as she neared the
turn the pace began TO tell, and she
stopped.
Then O'Connor let Hatasoo down. with
the result that the black whirlwind Sc
cured commanding lead as she turned
into the stretch. There Lady Holyrood
fell away back and Ascension passed
Femesole.
Sun Shower Came From Nowhere.
Suddenly from nowhere came Sun
Shower, ridden by Rice. She had been
held back all the way, but now she was
running like wildfire. She passed every
body but Hatasoo, and so hard pressed
was the latter at the last sixteenth that
O'Connor. realizing that the result was
still in doubt, rode Hatasoo out with his
hands. She won by length and half.
Sun Shower, who was a 30to-f shot,
finished a length before Ascension.
Bareuche was a length back. Sister
Juliet had no speed after the first half
mile, and was disgracefully beaten or
The excellence of the card and the fine
weather served to attract more than
10000 racing enthusiasts. Senator
Thomas C. Platt was among the guests
at the club house, which was well filled
with notables. The followers of form
had fairly good day, as three favorites
and four second choices were victorious.
The track was not as fast it has been.
In the first race, for two-year- olds
at Evc furlongs, Shaw rode the Keenes

crowd groaned and the booEies laughed.

running into pockets. AS result, he
did not finish in the money. and Shaw
was Kissed as he came back TO the
scales. Athlana. played down to to /

drive from Odom by a length, in 1:01
Irascible finished in the place after a
long duel with the top weight, Monte

Pearl Finder Easily.
The field for the second race, jour-
ney of one and one-sixteenth miles for
platers, was reduced to six the betting

Clonmell, the latter closing favorite
at evens, with II to 10 against the
filly. Clonmell was a trihe short in
work 1t seemed, for after leading to the
stretch he was overhauled by Pearl
Finder. who then drew away, and won
cleverly by two lengths in 1:47 3-5
CIonmell lasted long enough to keep the
place from Satire ~ head.
