Ebony in the fourth race yesterday,
when he stepped one mile and fifty
yards in the good time of 1:42%, which
is half a second faster than the former
record made by The GadAy.
Ebony was odds-on favorte to win
this, the feature, event and the result
was meyer in doubt, although the
speedy son of Hamilton lay next to
last until into the backstretch where
jackson set him down and piloted him
past Wrenne and Fustian and he
romped to the wire under wraps.
Wrenne set the pace for a MILE but
weakened at the end and was beaten
for the place by Fustian, which closed
stoutly after giving hard chase TO the
leaders for the entire distance. The
Gladly was always last and is EVIDENT
" going back.
The third race attracted as much in
terest as the feature affair and was
the medium of speculation to a greater
extent than any other on the card.
A hot tip was out that Orilene, winner
of the Ascot Oaks, was on edge and
already in.
This info" coupled with the activ-
ity of James Curl in the ring, caused
the bookies to lay to 10 on Orilene
and longer prices on other good horses
in the race.
Daruma, one of the speediest tricks
shown at Ascot this season and always
a safe bet that she will be first to get
away and run like Sam Hill for at
least half a mile, was quoted at IS,
and the way the pikers played this
price down to As at post time was
heartrending.
AS usual Daruma broke flying and
before the other horses could get in
their stride she had opened up a big
gap which was impossible to close in
the race to the wire.
Orlene and Bribery took turns about
in chasing the flying filly, but the task
was impossible to perform satisfac-
tory and successfully, and the nearest
approach to it was a head finish be-
tween Daruma and Orilene at the wire,
the former getting the verdict.
Bribery couldn't get going in the
distance, futurity course dash, and
allowed Orilene to get the place by
safe margin.
Good Thing Wins
Thirteen baby racers faced the bar
rier in the opening event for a half
mile dash. All were maidens and
juicy prices reigned throughout. I<ilter,
j. L. Hollands speedy bay colt by
neutrality-suspicious., was genuine good
thing at SIS, but steady play forced
this price down to IS at post time.

barrier in front of the others and she

drive to the wire, beatin.; Miss Affable

with a rush and secured the show

Lille B. was a false favorite in the
fifth race and finished away back in
the ruck, while Mazonia glided under
the wire two lengths to the good after
leading the entire distance Josie's
Jewel finished in the place beating the
slow-beginning Red Tape by two
lengths.
Willie Gregg, played down from 6s to
As, won the final event at six furlongs.

Selling Matinee
Five selling races and one purse event

fields are more evenly matched than

An Indifferent bunch of star boarders
are aggregated in the first race and

probabilities of the end are so remote
that guessing is a farce, yet the finish
may be Almonte Sir Brinkley, La
Taranta
Two-year-old hllies will go four and
one-half furlongs in the second event
and the prospects favor a great race
between the half dozen carded to start.
Sweet Kitty has the speed Of the
party and has done the best four and

added burden. Joan of Arc may be the
surprise, as this one has started but

be no worse than second. Lady Alice
should show.

Needful Bill Curtis.
The fifth race Is at seven furIongs
and eleven starters are named to face
the barrier. Josie's Jewel If she starts
back today, should win. Turkey Foot
is second best and Kumiss should
show.
