was I'D and landed the nlly winner by
q half-length over Avona, who beat
Tetanus three lengths for the place.
Tetanus came from far back and ap-
pears TO like a route. Miss Truth and
Azusa quit after being in forward con-
Sention TO the stretch.
PURSE FOR NATIVE SON
Harry stover's good colt, Native Son
took the measure OF the fast sprinters
that ran IN the second race. His sud
den recovery OF winning form was
foreshadowed in the betting, his price
having been hammered down to u to
from 10 l. R. Davis was UP, got
away fairly well. and. avoiding the
fast early pace set by Billy Mayham
and Pelham, the COLT ran over them in
the stretch. he won easily enough at
the end, where he was a half-length in
front OF Sea Lad, who closed stoutly.
Ethel Day, the favorite, came strong in
the final sixteenth and nipped Billy
Msyham on the post for show honors
by nose. Pelham quit to nothing IN
the stretch run. He was the hot thing
Of the race being played down to 10
from 100.
The talent made the mistake OF pre-
ferring Black Prince to VinceniO In
the third race, at a mile and six
teenth Vincentio opened favorite, but
was supplanted as the public choice by
Black Prince These two horses had
the race TO themselves and VincentiO
won by a neck in a driving finish, c.

just g bit Black Prince set the early
pace and opened up a gap Of several
lengths, but Nincentio made up the lost
ground before the pair turned into the
stretch, and from the head OF the
stretch TO the wire II was as pretty a
contest as one could wish TO see. Ma
bonassar took third money, seven
lengths behind the leaders. San Reno,
recently q winner at 100 TO I, was q
hot tip TO win the race, but stopped to
nothing after showing some early
speed. Sinner Simon also quit after q
fash OF speed.
GRAY HORSE LEADS TO WIRE
z. NJ Brattain. Johnny Milins old
gray gelding, showed marked improve
ment over his recent races when he
won from a good field Of sprinters in
the fourth, which was at six furlongs.
The switch from Mcbride TO Williams
n the saddle seemed 10 work wonders.
The horse was away flying, showed
brilliant speed in the early part Of the
race and opened a big gap on his field
TO the stretch. He was firing a bit at
the end, but lasted long enough TO win
by three quarters OF length from the
stOutly closing POntotOc, who had been
as good as left at the post. With an
even break POntouOcl probably would
have won. Supreme Court, supported
by his stable connections. took third
money by a neck from the firing Ma
Crane. who tried 10 keep up with the
winner in the early part Of the race.
EscamadO showed high early speed,
but faded away toward the end. Ro-
maine, the receding favorite was not
prominent at any stage OF the running.
The winner was as good as AZ to ]
in the betting.
Ed Sheridan, running for the first
time In the colors Of J. H. 3ildebrandt,
the South African tUrfman, won the
NTH race as a pronounced favorite.
Quoted at II TO 5 at one stage Of the
betting. he closed at 6 to ;. Sandy
avoided the early pace with him, ano.
making his move on the stretch turn,
the horse closed stoutly on the rail and
won by nearly a length. Cardinal
Ssrto. the pacemaker, lasted long
enough to save the place by a neck
from the fast finishing Alma Boy, who
came from far back Rotrou was prom
inent for four furlongs and then
backed up. Infiammable was coming
stoutly at the end
SAHARA BREEZES HOME
Sahara. a well played favorite. won
the closing race with ease. Jockey
Koerner let Water Thrush and La Rose
run out in front to the stretch turn
before making his move with Sahara,
and at the end the mare was only
breezing TO win by a couple Of lengths
La Rose kept going after Water
Thrush quit and saved the place. Mar
tenor. closing stoutly, took third
money at lucrative odds. Nina Gibson
failed TO run back 10 her good race OF
q few days ago
