gh not IN record time.
A wonderfully large and enthusiastic
attendance welcomed the thorough
breds to the popular Aqueduct track,
the Jewish holiday helping, doubtless,
to swell the multitude. The racing was
marred somewhat by Mars Cassidy hav-
ing one Of his particularly bad days
Mars certainly had many of these at
the spring meeting at Aqudeuct
1t is doubtful if Corn Tassel though
up to record speed, could have won the
Bayview Handicap if George Smith, an
added starter, had got an even break
in the luck at the start. George Smith
was practically left at the post, yet fin
lshed a good second running over his
field at the end In the very first race
Cassidy got in bad with the spectators
for taking Fairy Wand from an inside
position to the extreme outside. where
she was held in q vise-like grip by an
assistant starter.

Toto, favorite in the Belleview, was

Crank was second and Ina Frank third.
Falry Wand, which had to race around

HolIister Revelation
Hoilister's race of yesterday was
certainly revelation over his forner
start, when he opened a short-priced

that occasion he ran like sick truck
