price, did not run without backing. In
his first race here he finished second to
the invincible Fauntleroy. and while he
finished In the rut in his last race. he
was pulled up because of continual In
reference. Those who threw out G. N.

the best of the lot that opposed him. With
GOldstein up, Busy was heavily played

blow to his supporters. Busy could never
get up IN the running, as during the
early part of the race the bay colt by
Galore was badly interfered with, and,
while he closed resolutely when straight

make up the ground lost in the race up
to the backstretch and on the far turn.

In the meantime, Allen, who was unhurt
from the tumble off Bobbie Kean, lost
