, Stock Farm. was fortunate this after
| noon to annex his second successive
! victory
Tombolo was fslter.ng badly in The
last furlong and Bayberry Candle,
carrying tha silks of Raj Parr, fin

beaten by nose. Many of the spec
taiors were firm in their conyiTti n
That TIE colors of the Baltimore turf
man were the first to flash under the
wire and there were murmurs of dis
approval when the number of Tombolo
was posted. Bayberry Candle was q
| Few pounds the best horse but was
given an extremely poor ride. Car
ried all over the track by Mergler,
she was twice carried into a pocket.
/ once as she was making her run
just before the procession turned into
the home stretch The winner paid
slightly less than three to one. Fore
grounds, running with Canso as the
Ross entry saved third.
In every race but one outsiders
stepped down in front and the play
ers Of form were dismayed and hard
hit toward the close OF the after
noon.
Matters started badly in the first
race when Marion Hollins stepped
down in front of a band OF Juveniles
to pay slightly better than Is TO l.
Her victory was decisive and there
was some surprise when her price
was posted. Avion. field horse and

! in the speculation when Pepper, c
recent winner. repeated. paying J.
