duct this afternoon kept crowd of 1000
enthusiasts continually on edge. There
was renewed faultinding with the no-re-
call system. especially in the fifth race,
when ]. J. McCaferty's Lanceman. the
heavily backed favorite. was left standing
al the post and then came through and
finished third. length and half behind
the winner. Again in the last race. Nc
Caffertys Femesole, a widely-supported
second choice. was practically left, but
made up enough ground to be fourth.
In the third race St. Barnaby, backed
from 100 down to 60 to /, was fat-foote6
when Cassidy let the barrier go.

hard hit by the hackers of all six win

-Year-Olds Show.
The performances by two-year- r-olds were
the features of the days sport, and the
victories of John Boden's flly Rosetint
and the Goughacre stables colt Hedge
were hailed with cheers.
Rosetint won her fifth consecutive race
and convinced turfmen that she is the
hest two-year- old filly seen here this year.
On past performances, Rosetint looked
TO be sure thing for the second event
at four and one-half furlongs. The layers
opened her at to /, but the price went
back to to 3, and in some instances
4 to and even money 2 place, caused by
the wild plunge of the Goughacre stables
Alan, who had worked over the distance IN
0:55 in the morning and was considered
unbeatable. Form players took to
against Alan so readily that they soon
caused the odds to drop TO to 5 at post
time.
Rosetint Was Good.
Albatross. with Martin up. left the bar
rier flying. but at the quarter Alan over
hauled her. and set the pace into the
stretch. McCue brought Rosetint up, and
the filly rushed to the front. and had the
race well in hand in the last sixteenth.
Landry went TO the whip, and Alan re-
sponded gamely, but McCue kept Rose
tint in front. and she won ridden out by
a neck. Albatross was ten lengths away.

10 chance.
Hedges victory came in the wocdhaven
Stakes for wo-year-olds at five furlongs.

vorite at TO 5 over James McLsughlin's

to begin, and was, for a time, shut, off. In
the stretch Landry had plain sailing with
Hedge. and the colt came down TO the wire
winner by a length. Blue and Orange was
three lengths better than Rostand, who
came fast in the last furlong.
Three Removed.
The blue pencil removed Kilogram, Mar
grayiate, and Meistersinger from the third
race. a handicap for three-ye -year-olds and
upward. at threc-quarters OF a mile. and
made It look good thing for Cervera.

post 10 10 favorite.
Contend. with O'Connor up, went back

Then Miller's nlly was driven hard. rs
both Rough Rider and Lanceman were
coming fast. Animosity was ridden out
at The wire. where she won by a length
and half. Rough Rioer beating Lance
man. The latter would have won with an
even break.
