Jimmy behaved little better. Dresden.
the heavily backed favorite. Lady Emil
line and Lady Lovetap stood In at the
tape. well trained.
When the barrier went UP, BY Jimmy
showed the way, closely followed by
Lunetta and the outcome was decided.
Dresden, Lady Emiline and Lady Love-
tap struggled away in file. many lengths
behind. By Jimmy showed the way
throughout. Lunetta tired In the stretch
run and Dresden, which ran as much
as the best, overlook her In the final
sixteenth and finished strong to take
second honorA The running showed
that Lady Emiiine and Lady Lovetap
could have profited little by equal starts
for they were distanced At tho end.
Modo made his first appearance IN
Maryland In tho Annapolis purse, a
seven furlong condition event. There
was a marked disposition to seek else
where for the winner, because there
were n1sny who were In doubt regarding
his ability TO run through the heavy go
Ing, which was again In evidence as a
result of another drenching for about
twelve hours after the racing OF Satur-
day. To-day It was drying well through
the middle. but the path along the rail
proved trying and fatal for many.
Modo showed that he had no liking
for II. but his class enabled him to fol-
low Champlain, tho pace maker, to the
fnai sixteenth polN where he responded
to Ponce's urging and took the honors by
Q head. Champlain finished three lengths
in advance OF Tangerine. which had been
the medium Of smart support. He was
compelled 20 run in heavy going through
the carly stages, and II evidently dulled
whatever speed he might have brought
to the barrier. The four others might
an we'll have been In their stables for
all the contention they provided at any
stage. Modo, in the light OF his metro
politan record, paid the remarkable odds
OF 8 to 10, while the returns for second
and third were proportionately greater
for he had no backing for them among
the regulars.
