Horace f. showed all his speed of last

well. For. after he had set meteor!c clip
for half mile he was willing enough TO
let the others have it a long ways from
home. The pace he set helped to beat Lord
Boaneges, however, for Malacca wore that
colt down easily in the final furlong.

Norites In the opening event in head-and-
head finish with Buttons, another outsider,
and Jack Mckeon. 1t was only heads be-
tween the three. and Buttons ran the best
race Of the trio from where he got off.
But Jack McKeon was going the strongest
ut the end, and with a more experienced
lad than Simmons could not have lost.
Gen. FOwne's fast gelding Marster grad
uated from the maiden ranks in the final
event. As a rule. four ycar-Old madens are
not much. but yesterdays spot was soft
one. and the horse scored a runaway win
Sally *, the only one that had a chance to

Notes of the Track.
Buttons, the Tcnny gelding almost old
enough To vote. was pulled out for 4 coup
that nearly came off. The horse had bad
luck at the break getting away absolutely
last, after which ne ran a remarkable race
and lost only by head.
Parkvillie was overlooked in the market
after his good race a few days before. He
ran right back to the same notch again and
fashion.
Little Simmons is promis ng lad but he
was not strong enough to do justice TO Jack
McKeon yesterday. With a stronger rider
in the saddle McLaughlin's old horse would
have got all the money
Winchester was backed from 80 to l to
TO / and then got away with his exercise
boy, covering nearly two miles before he
was pulled up.

third, with Workman. AS he Will now be on

Black Domino warmed up so well that
many of the railbirds went to Perry Bel
mout's handsome black fiiiy. But she got
away so slowly at the break that she was
never able to reach the leaders.
Locked Out, the gray jumper, ran SO Wen
for nearly two miles that he will not lack
support the next time he is started at that
distance.
Worthwhile confirmed his good race over
timber of a few days ago and Is likely TO
prove a useful cross country horse to the
Garth family.
While Okenite was scratched yesterday
the colt has come on in his work the last
few days and will show a better pace when
he starts again.
