Morningside, in the 81 200 handicap, at
mile and one furlong. The performance
of Ethics was not only a great surprise
TO the wise men. but it was attended
by piece of alleged fouling in the
stretch that brought a protest from Mr..
Whitneys Jockey, which, after due de
liberation on the part of the stewards,
was not allowed.

Dumping Match in Stretch.
1t was the same thing as they came
into the stretch, hut When Cochran
began TO ride Morningside, shc rapidly
cut down Ethics advantage, until they
were on even terms. Half way down the
stretch there was humping match for
which many of the SPECTATOR were in
clined to blame Ethics. The latter stood
q hard drive, and at the wire he was

St. Finnan by three lengths. The time

Himself and The Regent. neck and neck,
with Franceso a length back But in
the middle of the backstretch Shea cut
Francesca loose and he went away from
the others so quickly that he had four
lengths over Merito at the far turn. He
began 30 back up in the stretch. in spite
of Shea's sharp drive, and came within
short head of being beaten at the wire
by Merito, who would have done the
trick in another jump. Eight lengths
away was The Regent, who beat Himself
by three parts OF a length. The time
was IA.
