1.-THE body this afternoon at Belmont
Park when he captured the Juvenile
stakes by a head from Babbler. Sem
prolus finished third, one length in the
rear. This was the first real meeting
of the top-notchers in the two-year-
old division. and 1t brought out great
struggle. Seth proved his class.
When the barrier was sprung he shot
out in front. with Semprolus right at
his throat latch. For three furlongs
the pair raced down the wide stretch.
Suddenly Semprolus gave up the ghost.
Dugan then brought up Babbler and
issued challenge to Seth. The Adama
colt was there with the stamina, and
Immediately took UP another hair-rais-

with Seth's, and the two babies started
