one of the largest crowds of the sea-
son cheered ]. f. Donohue to victory in
the Pasadena handicap, the feature
yesterday afternoon. The popular col
ors, purple, canary, were sported by
Jockey Kent, who received an ovation
on his return to the scales.
The public had about an equal break
with the bookies. as favorites and sec
ond choices won four of the races, and
two 10 to 1 shots won the other two
events.
Kilter was installed the to 10 favor
ite in the first race and made his back
ers bit anxious, as Louise Fitzgbbon
and Banada set a fast pace and opened
gap of two lengths on the faVorite
Turning into the stretch Bullman sent
the favorite on and he won easily. Liv-
1us, the second choice, heavily played
for place. came with a rush in the
stretch after being outrun early, and
easily beat Banlada for place. Louise
Fitzgibbon tired badly the last eighth
A very poor lot faced Starter DWyer
for the second race and caused a delay
at the post. as Thora Lee and Lydia
WrOuseman acted meanly. The start
was fair but there was a lot of crowding
and humping at the first turn, and An
tara and Komombo had whatever
chance they possessed spoiled. Black
Prince had clear sailing all the way and
won very easily from Sheriff Bell which
was outrun early.
The latter was played from so to 80 to
at post time. Tattenham was as good
as 40 to 1 show in two or three books,
and was quoted at 200 to / straight
Thora Lee ran we'll for six furlongs and
w. Riley was of no help to her. This
was not q true run race. Freesias was
jumped on, but for this would have been
closer up.
Won Tromp Wins
Won Tromp opened at to 3, but at
post time to could be had in some
books. This was due to the heavy play
on Standover, which was backed from
219 to 1 to to at post time. 1 Told
You closed at los and was played heav-
lily for show.
Jockey r. Davis on Standover got his
mount off first. At the far turn Won
Tromp took the lead and opened a gap
of two lengths. ] Told You moved up
on equal terms with StandOver, when al
the turn for the stretch r. Davis cut
off 1 Told You sharply, making the lat
ter lose several lengths.
StandoVer then came on and was
gaining rapidly on Won Tromp, but
Harris on the latter shut him off the
rail. r. Davis is an alert boy at the
post, but puts up a weak finish. The
judges called Jockey Davis to the stand
asking him for an explanation of his
rough riding. He was fined $50 by the
judges. Jockey Koerner was also fined
$40 for calling Davis liar.
The Pasadena Handicap was the star
attraction and proved the best betting
event of the day. Molesey was favor
backed from 5 to ] to 13 to o. while
Cello and Arimo closed at to l.
The others We're 10 and - to 1. Arimo
was first to show and led for half
when T. w. Barr put his head in

Donohue Away Badly
Molesey was third and j, F. Donohue
trailing. Preston sent Molesey after
Arimo and was carried wide into the
stretch, allowing Gorgalette and j. F.
Donohue through. At the sixteenth
pole it looked anybody's race. as the
horses were grouped. Then came the
shouts, "Donohue wins" "Molesey
wins" "Arimo wins" cello wins"
Kent laid his whip on Donohues
flanks and he responded gamely, Win
ming ridden from Molesey.
Preston, on the latter, made his run
too soon. Cello outgamed Arimo for
third. 1t was a grand contest. F.. w
Barr was pulled up very lame after
the race. w. H. Carey could never
get to the leaders.
There were tips galore for the fifth
race. Line of Life was backed from
to l to to ,. Bologna was PLAYED
from II to S to l and was heavily
backed for place and show. Taylor
George was as good as 20 to /. but Is

time. My Choice was backed from 100
to / down to 40 to l.
Bologna was first to show, with Tay-
lor George second. They ran this way
for a quarter when ConfessOr took the
lead and was never headed, to win,
with w. Riley sitting still Taylor

place, The latter did not show her
usual early speed, but finished strong
ly, taking third honOrs from Bologna.
