of them came home winners. Two ia
vorites and second choice galloped
away with the balance of the card, and
in some races the finishes were eXcit-
ing and close.
The fourth race was the chief topic Of
conversation after 1t was run, and left
behind 1t a peculiar odor which it is
asserted the judges are now investigat-
ing.
Slippery, the S to favorite, was much
the best in the first race. She was
Knocked back at the start, then shut
off on the turn, and Harris had to pull
her up, losing several lengths. She
came on the outside in the stretch and
won going away under hand ride.
Joan Of Arc, always close to the pair,
Outgamed Ed Tracy, which was backed
from is to 8 to /. Irish Mail finished
fast through the stretch and would
have been second in a few more strides.
Junia was miserably handled and Tai
bert was more of hindrance than help
to her at the finish. San Alvarado
showed speed until the stretch, where
he fell back beaten.
The second race was a hotly contested
affair from flag fall until the finish. The
Roustabout, Royal Rogue and Revolt
ran head and head until the paddock
gate, where Josie's Jewell which trailed
in the early part of the race, Joined
them and in a drive got UP in time to
win.
Josie's Jewell was quoted at s to l
in the betting. The Roustabout lasted
long enough to place by head from
Revolt, which was a neck in front of
the to 10 favorite, Royal Rogue. Fon-
casta was coming fast on the rail when
the favorte swerved in front of him,
and Knapp was compelled@to pull up.
But for this, the Curl horse would have
been in the money.
Madden at to l won the third race
easily from Geo. Z. Miner, which hung
on to Bologna, setting the pace until
the paddock gate, when the latter quit.
Neatness was third all the way. An
tara was backed from to 31a to 1, but
was turned sideways when the barrier
was released and had no chance there
after. Hoffman then fined Harris $50
for not getting away.
The fourth race went to Rama, which
bounded to the front and won pulling
up. This race was not true run event
and left bad taste in the mouths of
those who saw it. Invictus got up in
time to beat ]. V. Kirby a neck for the
place, ten lengths behind the winner.
Netting ran a disgraceful race, quite
in contrast with her former meeting
with the winner, where she beat her
two lengths in 1:4212. Yesterday she
could not raise a respectable gallop
and was beaten almost twenty lengths,
with Singleton sitting motionless. DO
not consider this race for future calcu-
lations. Viona showed speed for half,
then quit
Doninus Arvi with McDaniels in the
saddle made a runaway race OF the
fifth event. Illusion, away poorly, just
lasted long enough to beat First Peep
a nose. The latter, outrun early, fin
ished like a shot.
Flmdale and Derdom showed speed
for a half but quit when the pinch
came.
Roman Boy at to 1 won the last race
after being admirably ridden by Nc
Daniels. He allowed Henry Waite and
Luckett to set the pace. then came on
in a drive and had enough left to stand
off Gold Spots determined challenge
with Luckett nose behind. The latter
was much the best, but Malin was of
no help to him and almost fell off in
the stretch, after running the horse all
over the track. Waite stopped in the
stretch.
D. A. Ross, the owner of Fro Pyro
claimed Royal Rogue in the second race
for 1925.

Probabilities for Today
There is some sport in store for those
that make the journey 10 Ascot this
afternoon, as six we'll balanced events,
which consist Of both quality and
quantity, will come up for decision.
The first race is an open affair be
tween Lady Kitty, Otto Price and
King Ahab. The former has the speed
of the lot and may lead from wire to
wire. Otto Price, if he gets away well,
may be the runner-up, but he Is un-
reliable, as he rears at times when
the barrier is released and starts none
too well. King Ahab is the class of
this lot but Is an unsound horse If
he does not go to the pest sore he
will beat the top ones. The others on
form do not figure with much Of
chance.
The second race should 90 to Johns
town In his last race he was away
poorly, then ran all around his field
and only tired the final sixteenth. Nib
HEX looks the one to beat, as he is
in excellent form just now and may
run better than figures show. Mer-
lingo has only Cicely to beat for show
The latter is working well. Wood
thorpe performs better on a heavy
track.
Bribery looks to be in soft spot
in the third race and should win.
Belvoir ran a grand race Monday. A
better one than the chart shows, as
he was bumped at the start and went
the overland route. May beat the top
one Lucrece likes the distance and
Gill be hard TO keep out Of the money
clt =, Ball and Cigarlighter look best OF
. .fls entered in the fourth race and
