MARANDO WENT LAM

The ponies ran nicely yesterday after | noon, and as far as the judges could see there was nothing wrong with the way the various jockeys rode their mounts
 The fact that the judges "set down" three of the jockeys Monday and gave | another talk seemed to have a whole some effect and several of the best horses were ridden to win
 l The afternoon started out well when Little Mike, the horse picked to win, came l under the wire in front He got away sec ond and was second at the head of the stretch, but easily passed Rilda in the stretch and won. Rilda was in the lead nicely at one time, but the pace was to hot and he failed to show Caroline ", | a rank outsider, was also in the lead at one time, but Little Mike passed that ran second, half a length in front of 1 Attraction. Elkdom, a horse that many thought would win the race, finished way back in the ruck, tiring rapidly 1 after the head of the stretch was reached. He got away badly and expended all his energies in catching up with the bunch 1 in the back stretch
 1 Water Towers Race. Water Tower, with Earle in the saddle, ran away with the second race, six fur l longs. Precious Stone, which was easily the best horse in the race according to l form. was second. He got off third. some distance behind Water Tower and Collec- tor, but made a game race and pulled | up rapidly, taking second place some dis 1 tance ahead of Collector. | Subador, horse that many picked to beat Pipe, won the five and one-half fur longs race, and Invasion, which was liked | by many, was second. Pipe got away badly, and was never able to catch the two horses which ran first and second. He was considered the best in the bunch, although there was little difference be- l tween him and Subador.
 1 Marando which looked like a sure thing in the mile and one-eighth race, the l fourth on the programme, went lame in l the stretch and finished next to last In a l field of seven. He was last to leave the 1 post but closed up rapidly in the back stretch and it looked as if he would l VIII cdoil5s SuSb pciplb tui hiilB ihtO thV | home stretch he dropped back rapidly, however, and finished next to last. When brought back to the stand he was limp 1 ing and could scarcely place one foot on the ground, which accounted for his failure.
 Royal Arms, considered the second best horse In the race, finished first Little Boy was second and Allan was third. Mir ance had the lead at one time but could not stay the distance.
