took the measure of August Belmonts
Hourless in the Lawrence Realization
Stakes in the feature event on the closing

The distance was one mile and a half and
the heavy going did not seem to impair
the work of the champion This marks the
second victory of the season for Omar
khayyam over Hourless, besting Belmont's
speeder over the heavy track at Aqueduct
in the Brooklyn Derby.
The great three-year-old Is recognized king
at any distance above one mile and "a half
Houress is credited with being almost un.
beatable under one mile and half. The
compromise distance had the talent guess
ing as to the winner but when 1t was APP
parent that the going was going to be
heavy the bettors did not hesitate to lay
their money on Niaus champion.
Omar ran brilliant race and easily beat
