Aliy person dubious of the success of the Buffalo Racing Associations meeting should have seen the spacious grandstand, lawns and clubhouse balconies at Keullworth Park swarming with enthusiasts today. The Whirlpool Handicap in itself was enough to draw a good crowd, but in addition to that there, was n race for gentlemen riders and a steeplechase handicap over the short course, both popular here. The attendance was further augmented by au excursion from Toronto, Hamilton and other near-by Canadian points. Sunfura, J. J. OFlahertys Ingoldsby Slly, simply played with her opponents in the feature event. She practically made her own pace and wou !n a way that stamps her as a filly of considerable merit.
