Boniface's task was made the easier
by the misfortune that befell c. A. Stone
hams Yellow Hand, which was caught
IN the barrier and held there while the
others Of the field of ten sped on their
way.
Yellow Hand was the heavily backed
favorite, at 23 to 20. and the big crowds
interest became greatly diminished until
Boniface and Damask staged their due!.
that lasted throughout the stretch.
Boniface covered the mile and half
route in the fast time of 81 4-5 over q
track that was lightning fast.
A prolonged groan went up when yell
low Hand was found unable to leave
with his company. Bit of White showed
the way past the stand on the first cir
cult closely pursued by Bunga Buck,
Dark Horse and Gnome. Boniface, under
path well out from the rail. while
Damask and the others, including Capt.
Alcock, trailed When Bit Of White

mer. carried the Ross colors to victory
in the Monumental Handicap In gallop
over Frank j. Farrelps Dimmesdale. j.
f. Davis's Caligula and three others.
From ragged start Hildur under his
fyweight of 95 pounds, promptly took
the lead and dominated the running
throughout, to win easily by two lengths
from Dimmesdale. Caligula got up in
the last stride to overtake the heavily
backed Scraps, which had been one of
the victims of the start. The latter
made up considerable ground through
the middle stages. only to weaken from
the effort in the final test.
Mercutio started the Ross field day
when he graduated over band Of eleven
Juveniles In the opener over the six fur
long distance. He dominated the run
ming, but Fator was compelled to drive
him to the limit to withstand the be-
lated rush staged by All Over. the
Quincy Stables candidate. which en-
countered repeated interference through
the running. and finished like wild
horse. Finery. also in the Ross colors.

LIE Marsouin, j. S. Cosden's color
bearer in the Towsen Steeplechase found
the dry field more to his liking than he
had the sogginess of last week and re-
deesned himself. thanks to the clever
handling of apprentice. A. Williams. the
youngster, who brought him home a
head in advance of Infidel H., after
having been repeatedly bothered by
riderless horses rounding the final turn.
New Haven finished third.
James A. Sheridan. Distant Shore and
Over Match lost their riders during the
running. The latter appeared the possi-
BILE winner when he came to grief at the
twelfth obstacle. I. Perlstein. who rode
Distant Shore, went turn Of the field
with one stirrup before he came crop
