Hildreth taking double the sum garnered by his nearest competitor, O. R, Ellison. The latter was but 45 in advance of F. A. Forsythe.

Unexpectedly Don Enrique figures as the leader among, the "winning horses, but this is a condition not likely. to exist long. His speed and ability to run well on any sort of going are undeniable, but he Is of. moody and uncertain . disposition and not to be relied upon. Next to him, in money won is the good two-year-old, Fitz Herbert, closely pressed by Dorante and Eyebright The ten chief winners were: Horse. Sts. 1st 2d. 3d. Unp. Amt.
