The splendid weather of last week
was responsible for an increased at

The week was notable for three

on Monday because he could not re-
strain his rough riding propensities;

handicap for 2 year olds. 1t was the
first disqualification of the season and
was justly imposed.
Mentry rode five winners during the
week, closely pressed by E. Martin and
