The race was at one mile over

cuppy in the center and slow on the
outside. Six racing mares went forth
in the race. Prelude was the early
favorite. but Nancy Shanks and her
stable mate were so heavily supported
that they went to the post equal
choices with Prelude at 8 to =.
Prelude went to the front soon after
the barrier went up and set a stiff pace
until rounding the turn for home. There

began to circle her field. She displayed
great burst Of speed and when the
homestretch was reached she was in
front. Once in command she galloped
the remainder Of the way to beat her
stable mate for stellar honors. Irish
Confetti ran fine race. She was out

a rush and had little difficulty beating

Robert l.. Gerry's Cyclops made It
three in a row in the first race. He led

along to beat Dunlin half length. w.

another race is necessary to decide that
question. IT is possible Mr.. Gerry's

The second race was full Of good
things. Almost every one of the four
teen which went to the post was a
tip. The winner turned up in Spugs
with Bright Lights second and Dan
Boiling third. Dan Boiling set the pace
to the head of the stretch where Spugs
came with rush and went to the front
and won easily by length.
Bright Lights ran a good race and
with better ride probably would have
won. Tryon took him exceptionally
wide all through the run through the
stretch. The defeat of Bright Lights
was a big blow to Johnny McCauley.'

Lady Zcus was backed down from 8 to

McNamee, An apprentice lad employed
by Tom Healey, had a mount on Jocose
in the second race and before the frst
sixteenth OF a mile had been covered hc
was on the ground. That he escaped
severe injury seemed miracle. There
was a LOT OF rough riding at the time
and he was Knocked out of his saddle.
The stewards investigated and put the
liame on Babn. who rode Spugs, but
they let him off with a reprimand and
did not disqualify his mount. They
said the slippery track might have
