quit as If his bad legs hurt him.
For the second time within week

by the cheapest kind of platers. He
refused to do his best at any stage
of the journey and finished nearly
sixteenth of mile behind such a cheap
horse at Monomoy. Monomoy took the
track at the start and held command
throughout. At the judges he was two
lengths in front of Sasin, with Kilkenny
third.

Elm Queen was an odds on favor,te
at to 5, She displayed a great burst
of early speed and led the way for half
a mile. At that point she began to
falter and Ina Frank CHALLENGED and
quickly went to the front Pigeon Wing

but lima Frank had plenty Of speed IN
reserve and won by two lengths.
Pigeon Wing got up in time to take
place honors, "A length and half in

field of platers Miss Bryn has been
running around here all year but until

own way. Yesterday Buddy Ensor
broke her on her toes and kept her 60
ing along fast enough TO win by
length. In second place finished W. c.
PA" Days Peerless One. Pas son
William, Jr., who is training the horse,
had him in good condition and II Peer
less One had not received bad start
probably would have earned the major
portion of the purse He made up
lot of ground in the first furlong and
raced in second place to the end At
he head of the homestretch he looked
like the winner but he hung when
Vailed on in the finish drive.
