ton won their courses in clever style.
Wild Turkey and Quicksand were de-
feated in the big stake, but won their
trials in the purse stake. Grafton is
dog Of class. He led Duhallow a
length and showed clever1ess. Kalis-
pei defeated Friendless Boy, which
was figured as a probable winner of
the cup.
Nethercott's dogs appear to be
overturned. They did not show the
snap they usually do. 1t is probable
they have been given too severe a
| course Of work Barge had a hard
course, which injured his chance for
first honors. McVey defeated Rector
and showed he is ready. He will un-
dOubtedly lead his opponents in to-
days trials. New Home Boy, the Los
Angeles representative, showed much
class. He will be hard to beat The
