Dolly Spanlker the favorite for this race

the tables on JuggIer with fifteen pounds in his
favor over their last meeting. The erratic son

rest but ran as If short while Saylor could

Rosiniro ran particularly good race in the
handicap for two-year-olds and showed that

and win After getting off none too well he
ran into contending position rounding the far
turn when Horner took hold OF him and gave

John Sanford's Sir John Johnson was slight
favorite over Julia Powell for this race but the
latter was more heavily played, her price falling
from 4 TO 1 to u to 5. Julia Powell had speed

Twelve horses went TO the post in the selling
race at a mile and quarter, but only three
were prominent in the race, as the others were so
badly outrun at the end of six furlongs that they
played part in the struggle through the
stretch Pins and Needles, which is usually

lstionE.
Oraculum was a hot favorite at even money
in the handicap at a mile and a sixteenth, but
the weight and distance were both against him
and he finished far behind Zpango and Summer
Cloud which fought out a spirited finish. A
Martin made too much use of Summer Cloud in
