was released in spite OF the fact that Facada and
Jim Gaffuey finished far in front OF him on Satur-
day at practically the Same weights. Those who
had watched his last race closely knew that Uncle
had fair chance to settle in his stride. and
his easy victory justified this opinion. With Miller

Inside the last furlong pole Il looked If Alfred
Noble would be second. but Falcada, closing reso-
iUtely the outside, got up in the last stride,
while Jim Gafney beat Alfred Noble a head for
third money. The others were strung out, with
Bouquet which al tangled up at the start,

stopped when most required and does not

Fl possible for her TO earn a forward place earlier
tn the season.
Three favorites and two second choices won
which gave the form players fresh courage. The
winning first choices were Jimmy Lane, which gal
ioped home an easy winner in the steeplechase;
Fultonvile which was graduated from the maiden
class in the third race, and Uncle. The beaten
fevorites were Summer Cloud. Johnnie Blake and
CaiTngorm.
Lad of Langden finally got out of the maiden
class when he beat Summer Cloud scant length

chase and he justified the confidence Of his fol-
lowers by winning as he pleased. The field ran IN

were badly strung out at the END, although there
was a pretty duel between Islam and DR. Keith
