finished a bane-up second and from the
stands appeared to have won. The
boy thought so and after returning to
the Judges stand entered the charmed
circle and was disappointed when he
was informed that Fair Light had
beaten him a whisker. Several good
things we're turned loose in this event,
among them being Cotillion. Golden
Sunrise and sinicado. Neither Of them
finished in the money.

Jockeys with a total of sixty-one WIN
ming mounts. w. Knapp, who, owing TO
dispute regarding his contract has not
been allowed to ride lately, comes next
with twenty-eight winners to his credit
Helgesen and Greenfield are tied lot
third place with twenty-five each. He!-
gesen has not ridden winner In the
past two weeks and Greenfield has only
piloted five first. Mcbride. if he keeps
up to his present standard, bids fair TO
outstrip them both as he won ten races

enc behind him. r Sullivan, who mas
been restricted to riding for his stable
cnly and in consequence has ridden
little. and Sheehan, Vickery and Reed,
who are on the suspended list. Oh

employers in New York by March l and
that will give some of the others a
chance to equal his record.
