Easily Wins.

Ocean Queen won the overnight
| he ndicap Wednesday from Royal Cap
tive, the favorite, who was cut off
| when ready to make his move and was
unable to get better than an easy
third. The race started off like a
chariot race with the four horses,
Ocean Queen, Royal Captive, Sterlin
and The Wolf punched. At the head
of the stretch Kennedy started to
make his winning move on Royal
Captive, but was cut off and was I'M
able TO get back up. Ocean Queen was
leading all the way. At the head of
the stretch The Wolf cut down her
lead to almost nothing and having to
fight it out with The Wolf. But the

with Ocean Queen retaining her lead
to the line. Royal Captive was forced
to be content with third, ahead or the

make a winning for her stable Bens-
choten sent Napa Nick TO the front in
the second race and was running well
in the lead at the half, and it was only

who ran good race for second place
The rest ran. Roberta, long shot,
went to the front under Kent's hand
ling and made it a winning from sir
Barry, who moved UP to within a neck
of the money at the finish. Roberta
set all the pace and was able to fin
ish ahead in spite of the strain Sir
Barry laid in third position until the
head of the stretch, when he finished
with a rush.
