when he set the record on May 10 of
last year.
Ien-Lec's race was very impressive
one, as the flly was forced to race
up around several horses after some
what poor start. Furthermore, there
was delay at the post because of sew
eral fractions fllies, delay which in
no manner tended to improve the
chances of the top weight.

W. Lofts Tamarsk, closely pursued by
Joan Marie and John Sanford's Conine.
Tamarsk opend lead of length and

time to spread the field. Joan Marie
could maintain the pace for only a
furlong; then she dropped back de-

Inc hung on doggedly, and for more
than quarter mile fought nose to

Once within striking distance of the
pacemaker, Hummer took hold of the
odds-on favorite and bode his time
He gradually wore the pacemaker down
to his measure. Half way round the
bend he was on even terms, and, tax
ing plenty of room as he swung into
the stretch, stepped out into the lead,
to win we'll in hand.
Ensor, with Conine, the second
choice, skinned through on the rail
when Tamarsk carried wide at the

easily disposed of the firing early

so fast, of course. Then Germa cracked
about the time the conversation was
getting interesting. Though Ensor
piled the lash vigorously as he rounded
the home turn, The Nephew continued
to draw away. He finished buggy rid
