and a purse of $13,345 to-day in a gal

behind English Lad and fifteen lengths
ahead of Elwood English Lad clearly
outclassed his field. Cooks colt was
favorite in the betting at to 20 Mo-
harib was second choice at threes and
Elwood fifteen. Two to one the field
against English Lad went begging at
post time.
Starter Dade sent the horses away
without minutes delay. Moharib
and Rainland went to the front at
once, followed by English Lad. Pass
ing the stand the first time Moharib
was nose in front of Rainland. Eng
lish Lad six lengths back and Elwood
ten lengths behind the favorite.
The positions remained the same up
the backstretch, Moharib and Rainland
leading by three lengths, English Lad
third, under heavy pull, fifteen
lengths ahead of Elwood. At the mile
and an eighth Dominick gave English
Lad his head. He passed Rainland,
which had had enough, then challenged
Moharib, and after a brief struggle
passed the Schorr colt. At the stretch
turn English Lad had the field at his
mercy. He increased his lead to four
lengths an eighth of mile from the
wire and won easily by six lengths.
Bernays, the odds-on favorite in the
third race, fell to his knees at the start
He was sent after the field, overhauling
them one by one, but could not get up
in time to beat Flying Torpedo. Sum
