ing that the odds soon dropped to to

and the hot tip on Waldorf Belle cut
her figures from II to 6 to l.
The start was good and Belle of May
fair went out to set the pace, with

furlongs, when Preston brought Artie

desperate drive just failed to get up

Although the card yesterday called
forth an ordinary lot of selling platers
only, the sport was good and the
finishes in three of the races brought
the large crowd that journeyed to the
track to its feet. In one race the
finish was so close that the judges
made it a dead heat. The owners of the
horses decided to divide the first and
second money.
Form players had shade the bet
ter of the argument, as three favorites
and two second choices came over as
winners. The other race was the dead
heat and the bookies did not lay up
much on it, for they had to pay the
place and show coin, as Annette, the
favorite, did not finish in the money.
Twelve faced the barrier for the
opening event, with Hazel Thorpe fa-
vorite at to 5, which was a false
price. Prince Frederick was second
choice at to l. After a short delay at
the barrier they were off to good start
with Autigo in the lead and Prince
Frederick second. They ran in this
order until the stretch, where Dugan
moved Prince Frederick up and won
as he pleased. Rudabeck in a drive
lasted long enough to save the place
from Bauble which finished a head in
