firm grip on the public's affections, had
first call in the ring. Andrew B. Cook
received backing and the odds about
ARABIC, which horse was shoulderlng
l09 pounds, fell from 3 10 l3 to 8. If
David Boland had been an absentee,
the big end Of the purse would prob
ably have gone TO Andrew 3. Cook.
The three -year-old made the bush
flyer get a great hustle on for five fur
longs before he retired Then Treubel
On ARABIC and Big BIZ" Knapp astride
the favorite LetOla, started for the
leader. Cook stood for the hard urg-
ing Of Otis with marked gameness, not
withstanding which ARABIC got up in
time TO beat him a neck in 1:l21z, with
in quarter of a second Of the record.
Letola finished third on the inside, half
& length back

Summery weather and an excellent
card drew another large crowd. Fa
vorites took four out of the six events

F. W. Barr, a bay colt by Kismet-
left the maiden class in the two-year-
old scramble, which opened the racing.
He was ridden by Treubel and ruling

vorite Toupee first for the six-furlong
selling run next decided. Trapsetter.

prisingly good race, making the pace
almost TO the paddock. Here the first
choice headed him and scored with
comparative ease. The Volt one Of
the second choices, disposed Of Beren-
dos for the show.
Although Glenrice was heavily
played to win the mile and a half
selling affair. the mare could not make
good. Closing a 13 to 10 favorite.
with Bonner in the saddle, she fell
soft prey TO Inspector Munro, the sec
ond choice. piloted by Mcbride. Gin

MINDANAO WINS CLEVERLY.
BY waiting the admirers of Minda-
mao obtained a fair price. The geld
ing opened an eYen-mOney chance,
but so well thought Of were Ethel
Abbott, Esherin and Matt Hogan that
to 5 could be had around post time.
Wright had the leg up on the favor
ite and passing Ethel Abbott and Ho-
gan on the stretch turn beat the first
mentioned mare with little in reserve.
Esherin lost the show TO Matt Hogan
by a head.
Tom Ryan's brown flly True Wing
