Action, Keator Geraniun. Monsieur Beaucaire
and Lawsontan were the ak first choices which
disappointed. and with the possible exception Of
Kinleydale they were beaten on their merits
and no valid excuses could be offered In extern
uation Kinleydale is q bad breaker, and as
before. he was last away from the post behind

closed such q big gap. running on the outside IF
his horsea that IN all probability he would have
won with an even break The other five favor

beaten by better horses under the conditions.
A good sized crowd was in attendance, and for

mean proportions with the four-year-old West
ern mare Mamie Hodge. She was heavily
hacked from 10 j 10 5 TO 2. and with
something 20 spare. Ten horses faced the bar

Hodge and King Pepper the most fancied OF the
Others. They divided the purse. King Pepper de-
