on. They were Phyllis Antoinette. in the
first; Ten Point, in the second. and
| Shackleton, in the fourth. The other
favorites to win were Edith Inez, in the
third: Donald Macdonald, in the fifth,
and Hilarious, in the sixth.
The two best paying thoroughbreds to
get in the money were in the third race.
Patrick s. was as good as to to place,
| and Frank Purcell paid to to show.
Among some of the horses at a good price
to get in the money were Robert Brad

The closest finish of the afternoon was
in the running of the fifth race. when

first. Fred Mulholland second and Ado

| Jockeys McTaggart and Small had a
good day. Each brought home two win

hard horse to keep under control. but
Small was equal to the task and kept

Inning for Maidens.
The sport opened with the running of
bunch of two-year-old maidens and the
distance was five and a half furlongs.
Phyllis Antoinette was the odds-on choice
and won all the way. She opened up
gap Of five lengths and after having this
commanding lead was pulled up in the
stretch by Jockey McTaggart. She fin

were pitted against each other for third
money. and the former won by a nose.
Positions generally favor the horses in
the running of six-furlong races. and this
was especially true again in the third
event, which was for four-year-olds and
up. Edith Inez was the favorite, and
made good her claim by winning in the
last seventy yards Her post position was

Tough on Penobscot.
Shackleton was the odds-on choice in
the fourth race, which was at a mile.
Starter Dade gave the horses a walking
start, and in the getaway Penobscot was
wedged out and trailed the field rounding
the first turn, where he moved up on the
outside and finished second to Shackle-
| ton, who won by half a length. Sam
Jackson ran a good race all the way and
finished third. even money being paid on
him. Sucker set the early pace but could
not keep in front, and gave way to
Shackleton on the back stretch.

worse off than third in the running.
| Hilarious was easily the best of the field
in the last race, the distance being a
mile and a sixteenth. The only question
in the minds Of the SPECTATORS was
whether Jockey Small could keep the IA
vorite from running wide on the turns.
This he did. and Hilarious won by two
lengths from Nonpareil, who closed with
