proved a successful favorite in the
Patchogue Selling Stakes run at Graves

first appearance Of the season, and
Trainer Mason told his friends before
the race that the colt could not lose.
Cameron met good field, which includ-
ed Brunswick, Delagoa, Francesca.
Femesole and Flying Buttress, all of
them three-year-olds.
II seemed as If everybody at the track
had Cameron, for as soon as the layers
made him an to favorite in the open
ing quotations there was pile of
money pouring into the ring from all
quarters until the closing price was
even money. Brunswick and Delagoa
both opened at to j, but went up in
the betting. The distance was about six
furlongs and the start was excellent.
Cassville Made Running.
Cassville. a 40 to / shot. made the

I'd came on galloping to the wire.
O'Coanor oased Cameron up in the

Cameron a Good One.
At the distance it looks as II he would
be hard to beat in the future. AS two
year-old Cameron ranked high and has
apparently retained all his speed and
has developed into a sturdy race horse.

were fully 1000 people present when the
first race was run. Form was IN no

Still there were several good things
pulled off, the most conspicuous. per-

galore. The Albemarle stables Invinc-

Good Thing Wins.
But the real thing was Andrew Miller's
bay filly. Wild Thyme, who was backed
down quietly from Is to / TO eights.
She was ridden by o'Connor, and when
the barrier went up she was away run
ming. Invincible went after her, bul the
pace was too hot and he gave up the
Job in the stretch. By that time Wild
Thyme had three lengths the best OF IT,
