it is doubtful if Startling would
have been able to annex the rich New
town Stake lad it not been for the &C
cident which deprived Etruscan Of a
representative ride. As 10 was, the son
Of Marta Santa and Country Fraud
fairly romped home through the slush,
winning by three lengths from the
free-runn!ng Etruscan, which was good
enough and game enough to come on
end take second place from Bonnie
Tess, the good thing" of the race.
NJ f. Mount, owner of one of the
other horses in the race, claimed Etrus-
can for 81 500 after the event had been
decided, thus bringing down quite a
bit of adverse criticism, in view Of the
fact that the son of the owner had just
been injured and the latter was hardly
in shape for the negotiations.
Exactly forty-one seagoing thorough
breds faced Admiral Mars Cassidy In
the half dozen events on the Metro

Stable, gave the winner grand chal-

by a nose. Six lengths behind him
came Hanson, followed by Harry Shaw
and Coming Tower.
Winner Of the Keene Memorial in
1915, Ormesdale had not. until yester-
day, been at the top of his racing form
The mud and rain, however. had a re-
vivifying effect upon the Wilson colt,
with the result that ne took the lead
away from Marse Henry at the first
quarter pole and held it until the finish
line was safely behind him. His owner
was greatly encouraged by the i'm
proved form OF his thoroughbred.
Followed the Newtown Selling Stake,
heretofore described, after which eight
lwo-y ear-olds lined up for a five-fur-
long sprint through what was by that
Sine veritable circular frogpond.
This event was popularity believed TO be
a test of speed and courage between
Ralph d. Earle's erratic flly, Running
Shot, and Mrs. c. y. Darke's chestnut
Aimee 7.
The former, however, knocked his ad-
1erents cold by running away for the
full length Of the track just before the
race began, after which Aimee T. had
no difficulty whatever in vanquishing
her field. She splashed home four
lengths ahead Of Riposta, from the Pal
