Elmendorf was considered sure as the

was 10 drop into the consolation notch.

last, he had no early speed.
For half mile Chevalier threatened

yacsd him down. Old Gloomy Gus, one
os the most heavily played of the field,
was always within striking distance
and came with determined rush
through the stretch. But Dixie Carroll
stood CalIahan's spirited drive most

longs.
Sedgefield in Hard Luck

horses, might have made il a triple

usual lot Of bad racing luck in the third
race. at six furlongs. Sedgefeld cer-
ssiniy looked q picture when he went
70 the post, but shortly after the start
he was sloughed, and repeatedly he
found himself in tight quarters. When

any part Of the picture Buddy Eusor
wisely gave his mount a gentle ride.
This race fell to w. H. Congdon's
-Csrnarvon, which rushed off into an
early lead and stood OFF all challenges.
The Boy, which was strongly supported,
vas very slow to begin, but he came
with rush later and was wearing
down the winner at the end.
