second and third respectively.
Wishing IN no manner whatever to
reflect upon the class of Whitney's
good colt. which was kept from the
races long time this spring because
of an attack of influenza, it must be
admitted that Man o. War was pounds
the better to-day. He looked more
glorious in defeat than did Upset IN
victory.
If ANYTHING were needed to clinch

miserable showing.
Picks Out the Pockets
LOTUS. who got off none too we'll,
found several pockets through the
backstretch and around the turn. It
seemed he was bent on finding pockets
in this particular race Where he
might have gone to the outside Of Up

and into the pocket these two had os-
tabllshed. He didn't get free sailing

poorly he was practically left at the

Once under way. Man of War showed
plenty of foot. and by the time the

yawning mouth of Il pocket and kept
him there. He was in the pocket al
