Charley Moore's Win.

In the first race The Hayden opened at
to 3, went back to to 5, and then down
to evens. Essene was the second choice,
and both these nags finished outside the
money. Charley Moore's race on the open
ing day was recalled by a few of the wise
betters, among whom is a young man with
voice like a trumpet and he made the
welkin ring when the son of Eon and Lady
Grace got the decision in hollow style. The
six cOntenders were sent away in good
style. Maru showing the way until we'll into
the stretch. Then Charley Moore, ridden
III Tommy Burns best style, went to the
front and won by three lengths. Merriment
shot into second place and Maru held on
long enough to get third money.
Eleven maiden tWo-year-olds were in the
second event and the betterS selected Prod
igal Son. with Burns up, to carry the bulk
of their money. But Burns couldn't get the
Lyman colt to extend himself and he was
never contender. Springbrook shot to the
front as the barrier went up and was never
headed, winning by two lengths.
In the third race Justice was the original
favorite, but stiff wagers on Illuminate sent
him to the post a favorite. Alack proved
by short head illuminate was off in
front at first, then Locket took the lead
turning into the stretch, but Alack came
fast at the end and won out in the last few
jumps. This finish was a hair-raiSer and
created great excitement and applause.

Five scratches narrowed the field down
in the fourth race to six contenders, All
Saints being the choice of the majority.
At the breakaway the veteran King Bar
leycorn showed a great burst of speed,
leading the field into the stretch by couple
of lengths. But he then anchored himself
and All Saints fought 1t out with Brisk,
getting the decision by short neck, anoth-
er grand finish.
High Carnival was the best thought Of in
the fifth race, but groan went UP when,
at the start, 1t was seen that Jockey Hen
derson had been dreaming and had been
almost left at the post. Allins Abbott
showed her heels to the field until well into
the stretch. when Mango challenged her
and, owing to the good riding OF Jockey
Blake, won out in pretty finish by a neck.
Little Blake was heartily applauded for his
clever work when he brought Mango back
to the judges stand to dismount
Little Lois had been doing quite well at
New Orleans and with Burns up, was
thought at first to be the best horse in the
last event. But money went into ring in
large bundles on Carroll D. and he was
quickly installed in the favorite position
Little Lois finished absolutely last. Eloim
got of In the lead and was never headed.
winning in hard drive, with Carroll D In
the last hundred yards, by half length.
Ringleader got left at the post, but, even
with this handicap, he finished ahead Of
Little Lois.
