Handicapped and ran n considerable ex-
ira distance beyond the carded mile and
a sixteenth route. Tommy Rowan took
him extremely wide on all turns. while
Captain Mac, under III pounds. raced
along on an easy lead through the mid
die running. followed closely by Captain
Hershler Tippity witchet under his In
dulgent rider ambled along In third po-
sition, closely attended by the platers
Flibberty Gibbet and Bone Dry. Enter
ing the stretch Captain Macs ultimate
victory became assured when Captain
Hershler dropped back beaten and
Rowan, on the odds on favorite. made
little effort to overtake the leader. AT
the finish the Clark candidate held an
easy two length advantage over Tippity
Witchet. while Captain Hershler fin-
shed third. length back. M
