The card offered this afternoon was one
of the best that has been presented at City
Park this season. Seven races were down
for decision with the Heaslip cup at two
miles as the feature. Every race offered
was at one mile over. The program
filled well and opened with a race at two
miles and one furlong under selling condl-
lions. The track was still I'm poor condt-
ton, but improved the afternoon wore
on.

CUT much figure in the race. as GauZe ran
over Manoeuvre, the pacemaker when
ready, and won rather handily from him at
the end. Girard, with Nicol i'm the saddle,
easily beat the rest of the field
The Heaslip cup at TWO miles, the feature
OF today's card. went 10 Harry Stephens,
the II to fayorite who was the best
ridden horse in the race. Nicol had the
mount, and after allowing AttilIa and Dou-
