Inc walden was smashing good
race, but it was unfortunate that the
winner had to be disqualified. It was
a lively betting feature. Murphy, with
great burst of speed, went out at the
start and set sizzling pace. At the
far turn FoXhan Keene's Puss in Boots
raced up >to Murphy and at the head

well up and on the outside, swerved
over. and, the stewards thought, inter-

track record of 1.12 for the six fur
longs. Roamer was withdrawn. and
this left the race apparently an open
one. There was lot of play for all
the starters. Hester Prynne was the
paceinAker, and she set a fast one. At
the head of the stretch Butweu drove
Strombolf into contention. and a six
teenth from home he had grabbed the
Wilson mare. Hester Prynne hung on
gamely and saved the place from
Harry Shaw, which was three lengths
back and head in front of Celtic.
The opening number was rather easy
for Jefferson Liyingston's Polroma.
Pulfux took the fifth In hard drive,
