at seven furlongs, brought the best
lot OF S-year-olds that has faced
the barrier this season. Such stars
! as Crimper. Butterscotch III. Kings
Joker, Tom McTaggart and Tex
Caddy responded to the call and the
event finished one of the best con-

who has shown such consistent form
in his previous three starts, accounted
for the affair. when he beat Tea
Caddy a length, while Butterscotch
ii was third a length in front OF
Crimper.

He beat Peep Sight by a good margin,
while Meditation II was third. Tie
Pin was heavily played, but did not
figure in the running of the game
