The feature race of the day was the fifth, a dash of one and an eighth milaa for three-year-olds and upward. Hildreths entry, Boiling Boor and Searcher, was made a 7 to 10 favorite, while as good as 11 to 5 could bo had against Orontas. Belling Boer proved to be much the ,bost, lying within easy distance of the leaders until wall straightened away for home, where Coburn called upon him, and be came away with a lino display of speed, winning by three lengths, while Odnor finished one and a half in front of Denmau Thompson for second place. Qrontss, while he made up much ground in the last quarter, failed to show that great speed burst that characterized his recent races, Bearchor had enough when a furlong out.
