bunch of horses to the field. I
Hilarious, ]. R. Keene's horse. was a
top-heavy favorite, at 13 to 20, while
Cliff Edge, who closed at 4 to l, was
second choice, with Lawton Virgins,
quoted at to l. OF to a good start,
Hilarious showed the way to the three
quarter pole, where Cliff Edge caught
her and drew away. Cliff Edge turned
UP the winner, with Lawton Virgins
second, and Star Charter third. Hila-
Tfous stopped to a walk after striking
the stretch. The weight-l2S pounds
was too much for him, and he was hope
lessly beaten, finishing last.
AS the barrier sprung, Star Charter
wheeled about and was off badly. He
covered good deal of ground, and with
better racing luck would have been
closer up at the finish.
The upset of the day came in the
fifth race, when Glenn Beachey, quoted
