D. Davis Lura Lighter close third. The time was 1:49 flat.
 The field, which was a large one went to the post at 4:15 D. m. There was a long delay and finally when Starter Mur- ray dropped his flag the horses jumped forward to a good start. The light weighted Rankin immediately raced to the front and set hot pace to the first turn. closely followed by Martnmas and Duel- ist. Rankin showed the way up the back stretch. but when the further turn was reached the leader began to falter. Duel ist here assumed command, racing neck and neck with Martinmas, turned into the stretch two length before Little Scout.
 Well strengthened out for the wire Lit tie Scout set sail for the leaders and passing the club house 1t could be seen that the Bennett horse had the race in hand. Dominick rode in masterly fash ion, and at the finish dashed under the wire three lengths before McGee. The Hildreth entry.
