Diamond a False Alarm.
The first race Of the day, fve-fur-
long dash. brought out some rather
shifty sprinters. Willie Shields Dia-
mond looked to have rather the claim
of the race. and was made to 5 fav-
orite- Belle Strome, Tickle. and Preen
were also well played. At the post.
| Diamond was on his bad behavior H..
gave the starter no end OF trouble. and
when the barrier went up, was OF poor
ly. He showed little speed. and could
never get 20 the front. Preen took
the track at the stalt, and won as ne
pleased. Belle Strome got the place
after something Of drive with Tickle

olds, went to Merryman. from Woods
Garth's stable Merryman got of well /
and just lasted long enough to win /

AT the hnish.
Blember a Disappointment.
Blember was an even money favorite |
in this race, but ran disappointingly and 1
just finished in third place. A big field |
started in the third race. but the issue
was always between Euripedes. Wabash /
Queen. and Azelina. These three made /
all the running and fought it out in the 4
stretch. Euripides, after leading until /
well down in the stretch. chucked it !
up as usual, and Azelina, coming along /
with a burst of speed, won from Wabash /
Queen. who was firing from her strug-
gle with the pacemaker.
That old buffer. GrazialIO won the I
sixth race very handily After indulg- |
ing Midas with the lead for the half /
mile, Graziallo went to the front and I
came home on the bit Chippewa ran
a good race and got the place. with East /
End third.
A mild upset came about in the last !
race Anna Smith was made the favor /
tie. with Cousin Kate a strong second |
choice Any price almost could be had /
about the others. Parkville and Anna !
Smith made the running when the bar
rier went up and looked TO have the bat /
tie between them. In the stretch. how
