but the big bettors fl profted little. Another big
crowd was in attendance. and the weather was
again prcpitiOus.
Clark Griffith won the Arverne Stakes, race
for three year-olds at six furlongs. He won
rather easily at the end. but IL was good con-
test from barrier to finish. Seven horses faced
the starter. Israfel and three others declined
the issue, but Kilkare added. Clark Griffith
was played from TO to TO 10, after his
good race day or two ago the form players ac-
cepted him one Of the surest winners Of the
day. Zienap and Green Room had a following,
while Kilkare was played from 40 TO ! TO Is 10 /.
Green Room broke on his toes and rushed to
the front at the start. He showed the way until
well into the stretch. when Clark Griffith moved
up and after a brief struggle drew away and won
easily. RaGtke brought Zienap along with
rush through the last furlong and took the place
by length from Jack Dolan When Green Room
was caught he stopped abruptly and finished far

way.

Scotia Belle, 2 bright chestnut flly by Frank
fort, forced the pace and lasted long enough to
win by a neck. Toddles was wearing her down
the finish and would probably have won in
two more strides. Scotia Belle was quoted al

race. when she finished third TO Dolly Dollars

second time this week Monet had a strong fol-
lowing, but TO all appearance he is stating off
