the defeat of Oxford. This was due to
the heavy burden he was asked 10
carry. a stiff wind blew down the
stretch. and racing up the back stretch

face almost a gale. Miller took oxford
right to the front and set the pace. with
Melbourne at his head. for throe-quar-
ters of the Journey. When the home
turn was reached the effort told o.. the
leaders. and half way down the stretch

horse, Kereheval, which had been
brought on here for kilIins. looked all

CedeTstrome Wins and Loses.
Another feature was the starting oc
Cederstrome and New York IN two
races. Both thoroughbred ran IL the
first race, which was won by Ceder-
strome. with New York second la the
final event each showed a lod perform
ance. but neither was placed. IL seemed
a shame To start game thOro-ghhTeds
twice in one day, especia'!y under the
conditions. and the only explanation to
be had is that the owners needed the
money" New York has started six
times this week. He won one race ahd
was second twice. while Cedersrome
got home three times in front ia the
course Of the week, although Ona OF the
races was taken away from him.
With Creamer up, Cederstrome was at
good odds In the opening event, but he
won easily at that, while the tavorite,
Red Knight. was nowhere. Captain
Hayes took the steepIechase easily, after
Valley Forge. the pacemaker. had fallen
AZ the last fence. Lysistrata, making his
first appearance through the field, put
up a good performance, finishing third.
Anner's only winning mount was on
Lady Karma in the third. In which
twenty IwO-yeaT-Olds faced the starter.
Considering the large field, the odds OF
to > seemed short, but the hlly won
easily.
J. ". Colt uncorked a good thing in
the maiden race. Fintrail was tOuted
all day as n hot one and he won with
out trouble
