Both Hildebrand and w. Davis made pro-
tests of foul in vain.
Next to the stake event, In point Of gen.
eral interest. was the appearance Of Gold
smith. now owned by Sydney Paget. in the
last race, at seven furlongs. So far as the
betting went. Goldsmith carried the bulk
OF the smart money, as he was hammered
down from to 1 to IL to 8, while William
Lakeland's Gallant closed at IL to 5. with
the Goughacres stables Yeoman at to 2.
Gallant made all the running, though Gold
smith made game attempt to overhaul
him in the last fur1ong. The latter was
probably trfie short, for when Gallant
won by half a length Black Prince. a 10 to
l shot. nailed the place from Goldsmith by
a length and half. The latter had
scant length on Yeomau. The race was
run I'm i:27 80.
The ring was solidly hit when Newton
Bennington's Gold Coin. fine colt by Gold
finch-Daramba, won the first race, for two
year-olds. at four furlongs. in terrific
drive Gold Coin opened at 8 to 5, but the
Bennington commissioners were all over the
ring. the closing price being to 5. A. L.

Phyllis A. shot away from the post at
great rate and maintained the lead right up
to the last few jumps, when O'Neill, who
came from behind, got Gold Coins nose In
front in the very nick of time. Phyllis A.
had three lengths over Bantam for the
place, the latter running second to the last
sixteenth pole and then lasting long enough
to take third money from Sandy McNaugh-
toms Dr. Coffey by head. The half mile
was run In 0:49 Is.
Another favorite went over the plate in

was Crown Prince, carrying Jimmy McCor-
mick's colors, and played heavily at to D.

middle of the stretch and then went on
taking the place from the latter by three
parts of a length. The red board was adj
justed before Highwind's jockey could lodge
a protest Of foul.
6rly II. owned by w. M. schefte. re-
cedng favorite at IL to 3, won the third
race for platers, at a mile, chiefly because
of Hildebrand's splendid ride. Orly II was
slow to break at the post and was as good
as left. But Hidebrand took him up to
Gold Dome and Uncle Urigh, the pace
makers gradually until he had chance to
assume the leadership on the far turn. Then
Cold Dome began to tire and Perrine SHOOK
UP Uncle Urigh, third choice, as he chased
Orly II into the long homestretch. At the
last furlong pole Orly II began to weaken
but Hildebrand put the whip to him and he
won in a smashing drive by a neck from
Uncle Urigh, who had a length and half
over Gold Dome. Bill Curtis was length
away. H. Gardeners Brand New, backed
down to threes stopped in the run home.
