hollowest fashion imaginable. He sim

prevailed. Muskallonge was an out

Sedgefield couldn't raise decent ex.

In the mean time AL Johnson wen,

and raced this gelding into submission
before the turn was reached and came
away when ready to win in common
romp. Sedgefeld did not appear to like
the heavy going, though he is supposed
to revel in the mud. He couldn't un-
track himself for half mile, though
he closed through the stretch with q
rush and nosed out Costigan for the
place. The rest of the field was beaten
off many lengths.
Many Horses Scratched
There was not great deal of ex-
citement or pep to- to-day's races, for,
barring the third every winner was
away off by himself and had to be pulled
at the end. The exception was a win
ming effort of prohibitive odds-on
choice, Ed Soule's Sleiveconard, which
beat E. r. Bradiey's Bit O. Black in the
hardest sort of drive. The pair lost
Chesterbrook almost sixteenth of a
mile, while G. Studer pulled up Joseph
divers Nugget after very bad start.
1t appeared as if Wilson waited just
q bit too long with Bit o. Black. john
son sent Sleiveconard at his best from
start to finish, and at one titme was
leading by more than ten lengths. Will
son did not get Bit O. Black running
at his best till Strengthened for home
The Bradley horse closed with such a
rush that he almost nipped the favorite
in the very last stride.
The card wasn't much to brag about
at the start, and it was ruined by the
blue pencil, due to scratching because
of muddy track conditions. Only three
of six named went to the post for the
fifth race at a mile, which proved moth
ing but romp for r. j. Murphy's
mare Thimble, which was backed down
from even to to 3, while Polly Ann,
the opening favorite, receded from to
to TO g., Scotland Yet was in the
keep close. Thmble took Polly Ann by
the head at the start and raced the
mare into submission.

Joe Widener's sulky old gelding
Naturalist came into his own in the
second race at. six furlongs and glad
dened tbs heart of many a student OF
form. Nothing in this field of five
but the winner was played, except
Charlie Stoneham's Dry Moon. The
owner of the Giants thought his steei
would win surely, but he was disillu-
stoned when Taplin came in FIVE
lengths behind the winner. Dry Moon
could not run lick in the going for
the first half mile, though he closed

J. C. Milam's Child's Play rom1ped
as he pleased ahead of field of eleven
in the opening dash Of five and half
furlongs. Mack Garner took the track
at the. start and made every post q
winning one. Evelyn Sawyer and Bud
Fishers Avalanche finished second and
third, respectively. After this Fair
Play filly had won the race she was
run up to $4,000 by Sam Lewis, but
