anxious to get away and went under

his toes
In few strides Wyoming had
drawn somewhat in front of the main
pack, so that in the run through the
first furlong, Buddy was able to cut
across toward the rail and take the
track from the others.
Damzosch Wei, Played
One which was very much feared and
we'll played too, was Commander J. X.
L. Rosss Damrosch, ridden by Johnny
Lotus. Damrosch got away none too
well from an inside position, but
Lotus insisted on running up on the
rail with him and soon found himself
in bad pocket. Either Lotus has
developed hankering for pockets of
late-he is picking them in all his
races-or he is a very bad boy on the
rail. In less than a qua ter of a mile
he had his mount sewed up so tightly
that Damrosch might as we'll have
been in the stable.
Meanwhile. the Ogden Stables Grun-
dy, with Boyle up. was doing his best
to keep within hailing distance Of
every stride. Hitting the far turn
Ensor had shaken off the pack by two
good lengths. This he increased at

with all he had but continued to lose
ground.

1t looked for a time as if Fluzey
might get all the money. Ensor drew
oil to a long lead in the back stretch
and around the far turn, but Hummer
was biding his time while waiting off
the pace with Pictor and came away

runs her best in the mud, showed the
way for the first furlong or more.
Close Finish in Fifth
Quite as exciting a finish featured
the distance race, the fifth, at a mile
and furlong. None but the judges
could separate J. F. Sweeney's Hau-
