right back to-day and won four out 1si
the six events on the programme. Mary
Ann K. who has been knocking at the
door for several days. repeated her good
races of late and won the first event.
Astuta, good colt. was second. and
Fly by Night was third. Mary Ann ks
victory was q popular one. and she was
well supported and had many followers.
The upset came in the second race.
when Jesuit was q pronounced favortte
over his field. As a matter Of fact. he
was not in the running. and the old
warrior Black Bridge came home the
winner. while Lizzie Fiat. the consistent
place horse. was second. and Jesuit
third. The latter's race was keen dis
appointment. as he was looked upon rs q
sure winner.
Seneca II won the third, beatinx Che
mulpo. who won his last start. and
Veneta Strome third. Chemulpo's race
to-day stamps him as q much better
horse than he is generally credited with
being. -.'-'
Sam jackson beat a field to-day that
will make the wise ones look up and
take notice His victory over such
horses as Hedge, Mission. Shackleton.
and few other high-class thorough
breds stamps him as q horse Of no mean
caliber.
Spin. who was touted as sure thing.
gathered the bacon to-day and Was an
Jim Caffery was second and Little Ep
third.
Blackford. who ran a disappointing
race on Monday. turned up a winner to-
day. His reversal of form to-day IL
quite an acrobatic feat. He was beaten
by lot Of inferior horses on Monday.

a good field without effort.
Tomorrow is the last day at Laurel
