Nlous day. There were several good
races and the crowd was larger des-
pite the threatening clouds. The har~

in which she finished twelfth. Ethel
Lynn had matters all her way in the
ESQ trot. the last two heats being
trotted under two twenty. Miss kus-
/ han was the best horse i'll the 2.1s trot.
| The Crawford mare took the first heat.
finished sixth in the second and then
captured the next two, Empire King
and Bertha Fogg forcing the winner
hard. All OF the fields were large,
seventeen horses starting in the open
ing race and the Others calling for
eleven and ten entries respectively.
The runners. performed nicely, while
the jumpers behaved themselves so
we'll that there was not d drop. The
only thing that married The pleasure
of those who picked wi4ners was the
Disqualification Of Topright, the APP
parent winner of the steeplechase.
Tonight with Black w, did not run
the course. He dodged one of the
pillars. Toprignt could have won any
| way, and there was no reason for cut
