the horses were scratched out of the first race thus bettering the event as no absentee had more than an extreme outside chance of winning Seven of the fifteen entries for the second race stayed in the stable but again no harm resulted although some parties would have liked to have seen the reentry of Farley Fairly among the sprinters sprintersIn sprinters In the first race Spirituelle Spiritual

effected with Enchanter in the middle of I the flock The favorite at once outran OCon Econ ¬ nell who led the others and leading all the way responded to Thorpes Thorps shaking up near the goal and
