cSt of e. J. McGraw. the Baltimore
sportsman, the greatly improved Nou-
reddin captured the mile condition af-
fair for 3-year-oids and upward, that
featured the afternoons program, after
a hard drive. This performer closed a
world OF ground in the final quarter
and. closing with a great burst OF speed,
was going away at the end.
The race was not truly run affair,
as He Will, who took the place, was
RtrOciousiy ridden by McCahey and
should have reversed the order Of the
finish under a well judged ride. Emil
HERBS Eagle was also badly interfered

Turney's Balko, and the first disqual-
heation Of the meeting resulted when
the latter was set back for that offense.

was closing with a great burst of speed
from the rear but did not loom I'D as
serious contender until the eighth pole
was reached. Well inside that mark the
two leaders~appeared to hang and Nou-
reddin, who was going very strongly on
