a day of prosperity all around.
Mr.. Whitney's chestnut mare Smoke

,Withers mile in 1:4l. The mare was in
fine trim. led all the way. and won eased
up by three lengths from St. Finnan. who
beat Surmise a length.
Smoke was fayorite at the prohibitive

Flywheel went out in front with lead

and sAlsike trailing. Flywheel retained
this advantage until he had reached the
