nile FLIES after winning the Spinaway,
one Of three big features of the best
racing card seen at the meeting so far.

wonderfully large and enthusi-
astic attendance came from New York
and neighboring cities Of the East to
enjoy the best racing seen so far this
month. The multitude gave Miss Joy
such an ovation as she returned to the
scales after her triumph in the Spina-
way that the new turf queen is likely

west q few hours after her winning
effort.
And well the speedy miss deserved
the ovation. Those who had the opin-
ion from her previous races here that
she was nothing more than q short
sprinter had to revise that dope when
the thirtieth running of the Spnaway
had spun away into history. To-day
Miss Joy showed that not only did she
lave the foot but the stamina and
courage as we'll. for she came away
from behind to win just about as she
pleased, and from such speedy trick
as Harry Payne Whitney's Calamity
Jane, which had every advantage at
the start.

that had been nominated over night
went to the post in the Spinaway,
which WAS worth S6,1O0 to the winner.
Miss Joy was an odds-on favorite, of
course, but the Whitney flly which
looks more the racer, was so we'll re-
garded by the Eastern contingent and
the Whitney and Rowe connections that
the favorite's price rose from / to 2
