But ONE FAVORITE WINS
From form standpoint yesterday 2
snort was not so satisfactory as ii has
been OF late Only one favorite was
successful. the races in which the re-
naming FIVE favorites were beaten be-
ing taken by three outsiders and two
second choices. Most Of the book
makers made small winnings on the day.

the books when so many favorites are
beaten having been Whitfield down by
sharpshooters and others, who We're re-
sponsIble for a considerable volume Of
play on all the winners. The attend
snce was above the normal for rainy
day. and the volume OF play was quite
satisfactory.
The card was made up entirely of
selling races and the class Of horses
was very moderate Especially was this
true Of the opening event, stX-1urlong
affair for 2-year-old maidens in which
eleven sported silk Avona and Bush
thorpe were held al short prices and
the rest Of the bunch We're TO be had
al liberal odds. A very poor start
robbed the race Of what little form il
might have had.
MILLER BEATS THE GATE
Dwyer sprang the barrier almost be-
fore ali the youngsters had lined up,
and among those caught unPreparec

Miller beat the gate with Korosilany
by several lengths, kept his mount in
front all the way. and won by two and
half lengths. PasOdella saved the
Mace by a neck from the fast-coming
BushthOrpe, which made up world Of
ground. ANona, the faNorlte, with
Knapp up gave a very poor exhibition.
In the second, at FIVE and half fur
longs, Silver Line was generally con-
sidered a good tbing by the talent. but
the fact that Miller was up on Plausi-
BILE tended 10 keep that colts price
short as well GalvestOnian was the
only other youngster whose chances
were seriously thought anything or
with the result that the rest of the field
Plausible 10 the front with the rising
OF the barrier, raced Silver Line into
subsection in the early stages and then
went on 10 win easily by nearly four
lengths This is the first time that
Plausible has lived up 10 his reputation
Of being a great mudder since the local
season opened Silver Line barely saved
the place from Galvestonian.
Metlakatla, FL chihuahua and Warte
Nicht were all played heavily to win
the third at six and a half furlongs
EI chihuahua closed favorite. Pachuca
and Warte NIGHT went out in front
right after the start and raced each
other into the ground. Metlakatla
outrun in the early part came through
the stretch like a whirlwind and wor
going away in a drive with Ell Chi
huahua. The latter was taken wide
and lost considerable ground, but CLOSED
resolutely. Pachuca outlasted Warts
Nicht for third. Kirschbaum rode the
winner, and was cautioned BY The
judges against cutting in with his
mounts at the finish, even though hs
had established such a lead as in this
case.
MAGRANE RUNS BAD RACE
Magrane opened favorite for tn.
fourth al six furlongs. but Lord Mel

worse than is TO be accounted for b,
the fact that he had ia pounds on hil
back Magrane has always had
reputation for liking the mud. but hi
