race. the Howard Stakes, at a mile and
one-sixteenth. Eleven horses answered
| the bugle's call John whaIen saddled
Little Nearer an extreme outsider paying
! IS to /, and he turned up the winner.
MontressOr was a heavy favorite and
carried the public's money. Montressor
outbroke his field and showed a lot OF
early speed.
, Little Nearer who was OF in sixth
position, worked his way up on the IN
side and finished in resOlute fashion.
Executor, who fell in his last start, went
to the front today. and at one stage OF
the race he looked like a winner. En-
tering the stretch little MacAtee allowed
him to go wide and whatever chance he
had OF winning was thrown away His
performance today was a good one and
ne will bear watching in his next start.
The result OF the race was a complete
surprise, as the winner was played only
by few insiders.
The first number on the program fur
nished a finish that was worth while 60
ing miles to see. Noble Grand. Fred

coming into the stretch. They finished
In this manner. Schuttingsr put 1t over
on Buxton. and with the riders reversed
Fred Levy would probably have won.

strongly.

Napier. The rest Of the field was strung
out.

bulk OF the money in the third race, but
the best she could do was to finish sec
ond- The winner. Royal Martyr, trailed
on the pace and was in hand to the fur
long pole. He responded Eamely and was!

Der. He beat Carlaverock a length. DR..
