sistent and VendOra. but he shook off
both of them easily. VendOra got the place
and Consistent ran third. The time,
:56 20, was one second slower than the
record for the course. The Spring handi-
cap steeplechase brought out a good lot
of jumpers and was the most spectacular
event of the day. Black Hussar was

mand. Ray took HuSsar out in front at
the start and the horse was never headed

the leaders and at the half mile took
