Byer's aged mare Columbine took Sec

Despite an exceptionally strong wind
which blew up the long homestretch
Milkmaid stepped over the one mile and

sci last year.
Schuttinger got Milkmaid away from
the barrier with her field, but in the run
up the backstretch she was outrun by
Passing Shower. Carpet Sweeper and
Rose Dor. Rounding the turn the BAN
dages on Carpet Sweeper became loose
and dragged along the ground. The
Ally stepped on them and threw herself
out of the running. Entering the home
stretch Passing Shower began to weaken
and SO did Rose DOT. While they were
staggering from the effects OF the fast
early pace and the strong wind MIX
maid came along from fourth place, went
TO the front and won eased up.
Columbine ran a remarkable race. She
was shut off Immediately after the start
and knocked back to last place. Al

on the outside all the way she made up
q lot of ground and was running strong
at the end She beat Rose Dor length
for second honors.
Commander Ross was at the track
and saw Milkmaid and his two-year-old
King Thrush carry his colors home in
front. week ago King Thrush started
and was beaten Off. Before that race
Guy Bedwell, his trainer. said that he
believed he was a big bluff. Yesterday
Mr.. Bedwell thought otherwise and told
all OF his friends to wager on the young
ster. And King Thrust acted like any
thing but big bluff. He took the lead
at the start. gained ground with every
jump and won easily by five lengths.
Evergay was second. Feodor third and
Devildog fourth. Devildog met with a
lot OF early interference and hung In
the final sixteenth.
Harry Payne Whitney's two-year-old
flly Afternoon, which was one OF the
best Juveniles shown in Maryland this
spring. galloped all the way to beat a
big field of two-year-cld fllies in the
last race Ambrose sent her to the front
in the first furlorg and kept her there
to the end to win essed up By length
from p. A. Clark's La Reblee.
Thomas Monahan put over a real good
thing in the first race, when Grimalkir
led home field OF high class piaters
Grimalkin was hot tip and backed
heavily from TO TO to s. Before
the horses went to the post he was con-
sidered a sure thing But he didn't look
like n sure thing during the last eighth
OF mile. George w. Lofts Daydue
pressed him hard and at the end was a,

little Johnny Pierce, and II stronger
lad had been in the saddle Mr.. Mona
hans good thing probably would have
been beaten.
Ivry, a castoft from r. T. Wilson'S
stable. Is fast earning the right to be
called the most consistent platter In
training. He does the best he can every
time he goes to the post. Yesterday he
ran better than ever before and led home
a big field OF platers in easy fashion
He was only galloping at the end, eight
lengths In front of King John.
Just before this race Commander Ros.

nous colors. She was made an odds or
favorite at TO 5, but was never In the
hunt. She broke" badly for Jockey
Richcreek and lost several lengths in the
first sixteenth OF a mile. From then te
the judges she ran well, but she never
could get near the leaders.
