which justified the support which had
been Iavished upon him to the exclu-
sion of nearly everything else in the
race. Cut off and Knocked back in
the early stages, he was able TO make
up the lost ground and, entering the
stretch within striking distance of
Cloyne and VoX Populi, he easily gal
loped over them in the final furlong
and won off by himself. The lightly
weighted Cloyne had the early foot OF
the field and cut out the running well
into the stretch. where she weakened
badly and Vox Populi had no trouble in
outlasting her for the place Lisaro
and A. Muskoday. the only other con-
tenders that were prominent during
the running, both stopped TO walk in
the final quarter and finished far back
in the ruck. The inevitable conclu-
sion is that Lisaro has trained of
Muskoday has been far from his good
form for long while.
BURNING BUSH TAKES SPRINT
The Beresford handicap. a sprint that
furnished a fitting companion piece TO
the distance feature of the card, was
contested by field which appeared to
be very evenly matched and there was
little occasion for surprise when Burn
ing Bush, we'll played outsider, was
returned the winner. Burning Bush
was favored by very light impost and
was thereby enabled to stand off the
determined closing challenge OF Grace
G. after having raced Preen into sub
mission. The latter made poor show
ing. as he always does when not of to
advantage, and. stopping TO nothing in
the stretch. finished out of the money.
Pajsroita ran better for Jockey Will
liams than he did for Walter Miller
the previous time out, and gamely clos
ing considerable ground from a. dis
advantageous break. finished a bang
UP third. which disposed of the fear
that he might be training off as a re-
suit of the exacting campaign in which
he has figured since II. G. Bedwell ac-
quired him. Native Son failed TO run
as we'll for Jockey Mcintyre as for
other boys who have ridden him of
late and could not connect with any
chance by bearing out at the head of.
the stretch. just as she had in her
previous race.
OUTSIDER A SURPRISE
Lee Harrison II. which had per-
formed very poorly as a favorite the
previous time out. upset calculations
by winning the opener after having re-.

which ran into such a long early lead
that his chances looked pretty rosy at
the head Of the stretch. lie stopped so
IN the final furlong, however, that Har-
rison, Cook and Bologna were all able
TO pass him before the wire was
reached. Bologna was the good
thing" of the race and might have won
II but for getting of poorly Naga-
zarn. the second choice, was handled
by Jockey Miller IN a manner which
aroused much criticism. those who
were in a position to Judge declaring
that the boy pulled up near the pad
dock when such a course was unneces-
sary.
The Sutton was so much the best in
the second that he won in a gallop by
a big margin. Miss May Bowdish. the
favorite. which he beat by half "a
dozen lengths. had no excuses. being
well handled and meeting with no mis-
haps. She beat all the Others quite as
easily as The Sutton beat her. Big
Store, which captured third money,
ran an impressive race, as he was last
away from the barrier. Convent Bell,
extensively backed by the work wath-
ers on the strength Of fast trials, had
the speed to lead into the stretch and
then blew up.
sIARTINMAs TRUE To FORM
Martinmas showed more speed than
usual in the third and won right clev-
erly, under perfect handling by Miller.
He was never very far away from the
pace and got to the front soon after
negotiating the last turn. Jockey Ross
brought the neglected Eduardo from
considerable distance back to be
close up second at the finish and Saint
Modan was only a neck behind him.
Standover- and Captain Burnett, the
early pacemakers, both weakened in
the stretch drive.
Darlington looked good even

bly, would have won by himself but
for the excessive use which Jockey
Kelly made of him after getting the
worst Of a jam at the first turn. Kelly
made up the lost ground altogether
too fast on the backstretch, with the
result that his mount had nothing left
to finish on after taking the lead at
the far turn, and fell an easy victim
to Mill Song when that mare challenged
