JUNIOR PURSE T0FAVOUR
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.


Ahara, running In greatly improved
form. accounted for the seven furlongs
dash for all age performers that fea-
tured the afternoons program at the
Prince George Park. This colt was forced
to give his best to defeat ]. Lumsden's
Between Us, and his margin Of victory
was q narrow one. The short end Of the
purse went to Mrs. Frank Browns tuve-
nile, Black Coffee. with the rest OF the
field well beaten on.
Considering the wintry winds that
swept the track the attendance was
gratifying, but the horse lovers who
braved the cold were well repaid for
their journey, as the sport was excellent.
Selling platers performed In the majority
Of the events, but all were well con-
tested.
The halter men displayed considerable
activity during the afternoon, two run
ups and one claim being registered. The
first boost resulted when r. B. Stelle's
Valas scored q clever victory in the mile
and a sixteenth dash. This platter was
entered to be sold for 800. snd was car
ried to 500 by NJ. II. Muller. at which
figure he was sold.

The feature number, which went to
Ahara, furnished one of the best con-
tests Of the day. The Herr colt suddenly

opponents. and drew out the end. Black
Coffee showed an excellent performance
to take third place. Naushon and Borgo|
sharply disappointed in this event, run
ming far below public expectations.
The Junior Consolation Purse, a six
furlong dash for juvenile nonwinners at
this meeting, resulted in an easy victory
for E. J. Albright's Favour, who made
all the running and at the end was going

the bulk of the wise money was centered.

and did not give her hackers much I'M

early stages. and when called on made a
show of her company.

homebred Jacduetta dashed home in front
of a poor field. This miss did not beat
much. but her performance was an i'm
pressive one. as she scored easily. It is
more than probable that she will defeat
better youngsters before the snow flies.

by the Quincy stable, was the medium of
a heavy play throughout the country, and
a large quantity of comeback money

Cahey had him on well and sent him I'D
alongside Stonehenge. This pair made
the running for the entire journey. but
inside the sixteenth pole the Vale platter
weakened and Jem was first past the post
in a hard drive. Stonehenge easily
saved the place. while Mrs. ]. Arthurs

out Sir William johnson. The latter was
in behind the two pacemakers for the en-
tire journey. but tired badly in the run
through the stretch.
r. 3. Steele's Valas came from last
place to defeat a cheap field of platers
in the mile and a sixteenth dash, while
a hustling ride on the part of Jockey
Turner resulted in victory for F. c.
