the track was fetlock deep in sloppy
going. while the rain fell steadily all
the afternoon. In spite of the unfavor-
able weather, however, probably 1900
regulars turned out.

all were well played. The biggest upset
for the talent occurred in the Monarch
Stakes, for three year-olds, at a mile
and a furlong. Don. Paul, Cunard, Som
brero. Old England, Huntressa, Hermis.
Colonel Bill and Extinguisher were
scratched. leaving only four to go to the

Messrs. Sanford's Rockwater was made a
false favorite at Is to 20, with fair
amount of backing for Heno, who was re-
duced "a point to fours. Andy Williams,
on the other hand, went up to fiyes.

big bettors were divided between Him

mud. made his company look ridiculous
by leading with big advantage all the
way. and winning in a canter by three
lengths, in las 3-5. Redfern got st.
Finnan home in the place head before
