prettiest duels seen between these two
star riders since the meeting opened.

were withdrawn. When Mars Cassidy
sprung the barrier Major Parke was
first to show, with Tableau D'Honneur
and Leading Star Tapped on him. Co

Winner Rallies Gamely
When Strengthened out it looked as
though Ensor's mount was going on to
an easy victory. Hummer, on the in
side, drew his whip and few cuts of
the lash brought Major Parke up to
the leader again. The Livingston colt
came on with wonderful gameness and
then came the terrific drive which
landed him a winner by head
The first race, a dash over gthe 51s-
furlong route, went to c. A. Apple

with Ensor in the saddle, another out
slider, was second, and third money

Seven of the poorest thoroug ghbreds
that could be gathered in one race
made up the field in the second event

mainly through the fact that Ensor was
up, but he had all he could do to finish
second. Titanium, the outsider, went
to the front at the start and was never
headed, winning eased up by three
lengths. LEM njouleur was third, two
lengths back Of The Wit.

this one and his followers cheerod
madly when he landed the old mare q
winner by a head Sir Clarence beat
the good thing, Gueland half length
for the place. Lovely was the favorite,
but after racing head and head with

and dropped back.

trip by short length from Dioscoride
which beat Tiger Rose eight lengths
