Diamond Breaks WeII

The break favored Diamond and Com
mon Sue and they alternated with the
lead until the final bend. Here Sue felt
that there was too much of the elite
about her company and stopped, Lady
KITTY responding to Burns boot to be q
lead in front of Eel Bernardo. 1t wa:
a stirring finish for the little parts o.
the purse, Interlude, Chalfonte and Il'
al; being Whereabouts at the wire.
Madeline Musgrave, with Musgrave il
tile saddle, was opening choice for the
baby race at three furlongs, but heavy
play on Silk Hose made the price on
Madeline go up, while the Hildreth young
ster was punched full of holes and de-
livered to the starter with to chalked
against her. Madeline Musgrave was al
IS, but this did not stop her from winning
by two lengths. Matte Russell was a
head in front of Bold for the second
cut-in, silk Hose finishing in seventh
place.
Bold was the first to leave the post
but Bell of Brass quickly showed some
early speed and led Bold around the turr
by a length. The latter was head II
front Of Madeline Musgrave, with Matte
Russell next and silk Hose way back
When set down Madeline Musgrave came
with rush and easily passed those IL
front of her. Bold tired bit and al
lowed Matte Russell to beat her out o.
place honors.
Old Golden Rule, once a real Splinter
but now reserved for killing" purposes
was turned loose after the change il
the third race and proved conclusivel!
that he has not forgotten how to ruI
five furlongs. The aged Golden Garter
gelding was played from to l down
notch and a half, and just to make thu
money sure Knapp let him run ava!
at the end, winning from Slippery b!
four lengths. Daisy Frost, which Bill!
McKi1ney recently got rid of, ran a fai
race and was third.
Knapp with a ticket in his boot, go
Golden Rule off winging and the one
time crack never faltered. From tire
to six lengths separated him from tn
flock and at the turn Big Bill was taking
things easy. When Slippery and Dais'
Frost, which had run in third and secon'
places, respectively, began to pick up
little Bill let out kink and the chestnu
galloped into a longer lead. Slippery wa
hailed as favorite and the best she go
was place money by a length, Dais.
Frost being half that distance to tn

BeIlemence Was Meant
Some more educated money was dow
in the fourth race on Bellemence, and
as is usual when Dick Williams an
Holland bet their coin, he won withou
trouble. Avontellus, equal favorite witt
Gorgalette, was second, being har
messed by Meddling Daisy to get wha
he did. The winner was backed from
to down to to 2.
AS usual, Giovanni Balerio was pre-
scented with the job of making the earl,
running, and he performed his duty nobly
Crepps Beckham, forgetting to act Graz
1t the post followed the Dago horse t
the last turn, where he took shot a
being in front. Martin was always wei
m with Bellemence and set him dow
"a 90 by the tired ones. Avontellus ha
a rough journey and finished stoutly, bu
not good enough TO grab the Pasaden
stable's candidate. Meddling Daisy ais
showed gameness at the end and hun
Il on Crepps Beckham by half lengt
for the little end of the purse.
