colt inside one day.
This feature r. &c was the Oakdale
Handicap, with $4,000 added, at six fur
longs, and Krewer had to show real
class to win it. OF the six juveniles
named over night James McManuss
Padriac and G. D. Widener's Royal
Duck were scratched. But Mr.. Jeffords
added Kinnoul, so that the field com
prised five fine performers. Krewer
was the class of the race and showed
it in every move from start to finish
For the first couple of hundred yards
the speedy Kinnoul gave Krewer an
argument. But there Fator shook off
the added starter and raced around
him TO take the rail. From there home
Fator made every post winning one
krewcr was eased through the final
sixteenth, but still turned the six fur
longs in 1:l3--cxcellent time, consider
ing the fact that the track was still
slow and that strong wind blew

place, beating Kinnoul for the honors
krewer at the finish by & couple of
lengths. A. X. Macombcr's Sagamorc,
which was highly regarded for the
place, could not untrack himself and
finished absolutely last. Sycamore got
much the worst of a struggling start
and in view Of the terrific pace of the
redoubtable sprinters, Krewer and
kinnoul, was simply raced dizzy trying
to make up his disadvantage Ensor
put up fine ride on Pilgrim, saving
ground at the stretch turn. and might
have been bit closer to the winner
at the finish if krewer had not borne
out IN front of him in the last six
teenth. There was no interference, as
krewer had plenty of sea room at the
time.
The beautiful weather attracted one
Of the largest mid-week attendances Of
the season. The day, morever, was
beautiful in every sense to the regulars,
for the talent batted 1000 in the first
four races. 1t was clean sweep for
favorites. The fifth race developed the
first bobble, and this was so unusual
an accldent-that is, the manner Of it
was SO unusual-as to merit explana-
ton.
The Brookside Stables King Plaudit,
which had not been to the races for
some time, was considered a sure thing
for this fifth race, at a mile. He was
backed from 7 to to to 10. King
Plaudit showed plenty of ambition
post till the real start came. Twice he
broke through the barrier full of run
ming. But when Cassidy called upon
them to so King Plaudit took couple
Of jumps and then proppcd. lie whee! I'd
into the fence and wouldn't lun a bit.
The field was q quarter Of mile
away before an assistant starter scared
him into gallop. Fator, of course,
made no effort then. He galloped the
horse home and explained his mounts
misbehavior satisfactorily. Later King
Plaudit worked q mile in :3S As,
nearly second faster than Jock Scot,
t, winner. raced it. 1t was simply a
case Of temperament. With King
Plaudit eliminated the race was easy
for Jock Scot. War Machine beat Fell.
Swoop five lengths for the place.
Ensor's Fine Horsemanship
J. +. Widencr's Fair Gain won the
final race at six and half furlongs
principally because of Ensor's superi-
ority in horsemanship over Rice. who
had the leg up on George. one Of the
most heavily played favorites of the
day. 1ndiscretion. an outsider, showed
world OF early speed and threa tened
to spreadeagle the field for time, but
stopped to nothing toward the end
In chasing the pacemaker Rice car
ried George at such fast clip that
he couldn't turn short enough into the
stretch. He lost length or two in
going wide. Ensor prohted by this mis-
+ake to skim through on the rail with
Fair Gain. He hooked up with Georgia
at the sixteenth pole and outrode Rice
from there home.
Panaman, the favorite, which won the
opening dash of seven furlongs, had TO
be much the best to get first prize.
Frasch got his mount off in front, but
Fanaman was quickly shufled back on
the far turn and bumped about and
intcrfered with greatly. Frasch finally
took the overland and got Strengthened
in the stretch in time to make up his
disadvantage He was simply rolling
at the end. R. T. Wilson, jr.'s Thun-
derstornl. which was away last, ran a
fine race.
Indeed. Ensor came through knot
hole on the rail and was getting into Il
good position to challenge the winner
when something bumped him badly at
the 1urlOnR pOle. E!!oOI was III SiOSc
quarters the rest of the journey.
The steeplechase was only workout
for Gold Bond the oddson favorite
Prince Hal II. the rank outsider. got
the place easily when kismer fell at
the last obstacle. Nonesuch ran a
very disappointing race, being beaten
away off all the way.
The third race, at a mile, was only a
breeze for Larry Waterbury's imported
Sundial IL. When ready he simply
raced up to and away from Osgood. the
paccmaker. Osgood beat Sunningdale
the only other starter, by eight or ten
lengths for the place.
