one cheered to victory and, as a good
price had been laid by the chalk WELD
ers, Muskoday received a lively sendoff
after u. Riley had hustled the winner
along in time to head the weakly rid
den Cigarlighter, on which w. Riley
was of absolutely no use.
Cigarlighters defeat yesterday marks
the second time when a slovenly ride
kept him out of the first money. The
finish was hotly contested, as Gorga-
lette, the favorite. was piling over
horses in the deep rail going and would
have won in a brace of jumps.
]. f. Donohue, outridden in the early
part, with Brussel up, came with his
usual rush and was fourth, three
lengths away. Had the track been
deep Donohue would have proved hard
to keep back. Euripides was leading in
the stretch, but when put to the final
trial hung badly. Entire Nous ran we'll
for three-fourths. Won Tromp showed
some speed, but quit after the half.
These four horses were the only ones
having a possible chance after the
scraggly start.

light caused joy by taking the show
money. Dollar books had ventured as
good as 10 to against BushWhacker' s
chances of finishing third and great
rush resulted for a place in the moneyed
line.
Moshue showed a lot of speed and ap-
peared a contender at the stretch en-

whip, however, Moshue hesitated in

Confessor was held to be across and

In this order they approached the
paddock gate, where Koerner prodded

way. but at the end was doing her best
to stall off the determined challenge of
Redan and Revolt. The latter was
running wildly at the close and should
have placed in two more jumps.
