Of six events with twin feature. Two
big stakes, beside q stceplechase are
down for decision. What undouhtedlv
should prove the big attraction Of the
afternoon {though not so rich as the
other commercially is the Toboggan
No less than eighteen of the best
handicap horses that have been appear

named to start in the Tobogcan.
There is likely to be some scratching

predicted and the track remains fast.
Some few Of the plutocrats of the turf
have entered several thoroughbreds
only the best of which are likely to
win.
The Harry F. Sinclair-Sam Hldreth
eombinatlon seems to have the call in
quality and quantity in numbers as
Mad Halter, Dunboyne and the oft

Walter J. Salmon's Careful. which gave
Mad Halter the race of his life in the
mile Metropolitan opening day. is
bound to receive serious consideration.
The $4,000 Juvenile, a five furlongs
dash over the straight. also should be
something well worth looking at. The
dozen named represent the class Of the
juveniles shown so far.
One OF the very largest Monday
crowds OF fifteen years (aside from
those times when Memorial Day fell
on Monday was st the races yester
day afternoon. The attendance ap-
prax'mated a Saturday multitude. The
translents were out in such force as
to suggest that many were enjoying q
double holiday. AS transients usually

ever favorite is vouchsafed in the
'"line' these irregulars went home
happy for the most part. No less than
four OF the public choices came
traipsing to the wire in front.
Undoubtedly the most popular victory
OF the afternoon was that of the TRIBE
Sprlngs Farms six year old little mare,
Pen Rose. that set a new track record in
winning the Willow Handicap, ut five
and half furlongs, in 1905 1-5. She

backed off the layout" broke in front
but after a furlong took back off
Bantry Pass's sizzling pace, coming
around the leader at the stretch turn to
win we'll in hand under Laverne Fac
tors cunning horsemanship. Mary
Patricia and Arrow Of Gold were al
ways badly outrun.
The Chcsterbrook Farms Chester
brook won the Mineola Handicap of a
mile, the feature of the day in driving
finish with Flying Cloud. The latter,
which was allowed to drop too far out
OF the early running, would have won
IN few more strides. Bersagliere set
heartbreaking pace and opened up a
lead Of five lengths before the head of
the stretch. but he folded like an ac-
Gordon inside the furlong pole.
The four and a half furlongs dash
that opened the entertainment was
simply q romp for Frederick Johnson s
Certain. Six tired steeds staggered
home in the steeplechase after four
others had fallen on the way. Our Boots
and Quecreek, the only contenders
among them. Our Boots, the heavily
played favorte. had the race sewed up
when he came cropper four jumps
from home because of the carelessness

lengths and taking the fences like a
seagull.
Walter J. salmons Ghost made a
show o. the field of half dozen in the

favorite, Top Notch, was sour and had
to be hard ridden all the way. Soviet, a
stablemate of Ghost. would probably
had won had he not swerved shortly
