racing been held under more adverse
conditions. 1t took the stoutess per-
formers to cover the course and hs,ish
In front, for the going was more than
heavy--it was holding, sticky track
over which the contenders raced.
The sport was marred by several bits
Of rough riding. In the feature event
Of the afternoon, the Forest Park
Handicap, at one mile, Bastile was dis
qualified for crossing the field soon
after the start. The offender succeeded
in finishing second to Runga Buck. but
the judges gave the place to Thunder
clap. The Archer got third money.
The start in this contest was almost
perfect, and the field Of six was off as
one horse. Lang had the mount on Bes-
tiles holding position on the outside.
and nearing the sixteenth pole the
rider attempted 20 cross over to the
rail. In doing so he fouled all of the
horses except Bunga Buck, which
gained commanding lead.

received from Bastile at the start. The
distance was covered in las 2-5. In
The unfavorable weather held down

and good time was impossible.
