- BENJAMIN Blocks Norwich, the
great son of Runnymede, winner OF
the FIRST running of the Plmlico
Futurity and of ten other straight
purses. and who has never been de-
feated in any kind of going as
.2-year-old, yesterday made his last
appearance of the season under
silks when he, with willis Sharpe

tore the roof Of the stands on. Thus
one of the greatest 2-year-olds OF

Relay Breaks In Lead.
Relay went into the lead al the
break and at the first turn was
leading Sandy BeRl by a full length
with Billy Kelly third and Auda-
cious a bad fourth due to being
swung wide at the turn by Clarence
Hummer.
The juvenile easily held his lead
until the three-quarters where the
Others began to force the pace. Au-
dacious, after being swung wide,
had found his racing legs and at
the head Of the stretch, though still
fourth, was just getting his second
wind.
A third o. the way down the
stretch Audacious passed Billy
Kelly and Sandy Beal. The Foreign
Stable star then set out after the
jrvenIle. And ten strides from the
wire the yoTpgster was forced to
relinquish his lead.
Audacious went on to win by hall
a length while Relay just managed
to save second position from the
fast-comlRg Sandy Beal.
