Iwo-year-old racing such as would

saved the face Of an event or two that
left dark brown taste.
There never was greater finish
than that witnessed in the closing
event, five-furong dash for two-year-
OLD hllles, which was won by Mrs. J. E.
Davis's popular Ophelia. Little

OF table napkin alone separated the
nose of Ophelia from that of Blushing
Beauty, that finished fourth, at the
end
1t wasn't the finish alone that added
ehe great charm to this nightcap. 1t
was the gallantry of the struggle
among the four most prominent juve-
niles of the field of seven all the way
through the final furlong. They raced
that eighth in almost perfect align
ment. The final sixteenth brought
into play everything that is grand and
noble in the thoroughbred makeup;
it brought into play also every little
trick and virtue and cunning of ex
pert horsemanship. 1t was, in short,
a masterpiece of racing art.

sixteenth only nose in front of

Benny Leonard, the lightweight
champion of this rather we'll known
world, entertained select gathering
of sporting writer's at Professor Will
lam Grupp's Gymnasium, on West
116th Street, yesterday afternoon
sparring two three-minute rounds each
with Benny Valgar, Willie Jackson and
Chief Clay Turner, and Benjamin ap-
peared about as fast as ever he was,
and he slung a wicked fist in his work
outs.
But, fast as Benny was, and we'll
trained, he seemed rsow and crippled
when compared to Senior Jacques Cur
ley, the promoter of the bout between
Leonard and Ted (Kid) Lewis at Wied-
enmayers Park, Newark, next Monday
night.
The handsome senor has never lost
a verbal bout where q re1eree's deci-
sion was rendered, and HIS long record
fairly bristles with knockoutS scored
over ambitious battlers who fancied
they could chew words. But Jacques
has been training faithfully this time
going ten fast rounds every morning
before breakfast with one of those self
winding, self-starting, one-man con-
trol-victrola hounds. AS a result, his
words are in the pink of condition, and
this he demonstrated yesterday while
Leonard was going through his work
in The ring.

The stewards in charge of the Aque-
duct meeting are slow to anger and of
great mercy. Once in while, however,
they give an imitation of being on the
job, as witness the suspension of Jockey
l.. Ensor for the remainder of the meet
ing.
Ensor rode r. 7. Wilson'S Umbala,

He allowed himself to be left, took

Ensor company.
