IN the second at 10 !. and Wild Thyme was an
easy winner in the last race at prices all the

iilIy closed a. the horses went 10 the post.
Contend had never before been asked to go so
long distance as a mile and a furong public
and there way by which his prospects
could be gauged by the public but he was supposed
10 be strongest as a sprlnter. kamara, Ethics and
radie s, however, were well liked on their per-
formances and were heavily played, Mr.. Mackay's
mare being = slight favorite the other two.
Little Cochran took Contend out after the
scramble began. and he headed there
after. coming past the judges clear two lengths
the good, and well in hand at that. Incidentally
Contend lowered the track record for the distance
a full second, running it in l:52 fat.
