The odds on tint favorite being prohibitive, speculators had no alternative but to back a forlorn hope in the Chesterbrook representative at 10 to 1 or leave the race alone. King Sol being absolutely out of the question. The result was that the multitude cheered Captain Cassatts horse to victory. A layer named Ryan laid one wager of ,000 against ,000.. The Ieer might not have been able to win under 1be most skillful and vigorous ride that could have been given ihim. but the fact remains that jockey Class tactics invited defeat. Instead of keeping his rating ami slaying mount up with the leader be deliberately took him back into leisurely distant : pursuit of the Hying pacemaker for half of the lourncy, and even went to tin? extent of courting interference from King Sol.

Starport and Intrinsic was ever dangerous. The liEst-named, a hot favorite, came on the scene at the end of the struggle and saved third place. A majority ot the spectators " differed with the oflicial placing and thought that lien Loyal was first. The diminutive novice rider, llyland. had the race won a furlong out. but finally tossed off a certain victory. The backward position throughout the running of the promising and well-played Starport was explained when jockey Butwell fainted from weakness while dismounting. In the process of reducing to 105 pounds, the weight carried by the Ireland lilly. Itutwell had seriously impaired his strength and he was unable to do his mount justice in the race. His remaining jockey engagements were; canceled. Thoy included mounts on Etherial and ltoola l.oola. Creovy was substituted on the latter and was beaten a nose ill the last race. Kings Daughter confirmed her present formidable form bv leading Arasee and Ktherial from start to finish in the handicap at a mile and three-sixteenths. The last-named horse ran a bad race under jockey Grands handling. This- jockey had been substituted for Itutwell without trainer Hylands knowledge ami he was much wrought up over the matter.

The big Sain colt got the best of a bad start and barely lasted to beat Practical by a narrow margin. The , winner is a grand-looking colt and is likely to improve in stamina with age. Eddie Dugans superb horsemanship was conspicuously displayed on Spindle in the closing race. The greeii-rniining youngster got away with a commanding lead and was never headed, but was so tired III the last quarter that she ran all over the course under her jockeys incessant whipping. P.lackford, recently claimed by K. Hughes for the Quincy Stable, has been ordered returned to bis former owner, C. .1. Quiun.
