The race v as won by Mr. Schorrs Boh Co. and Duke of Ormonde heat the Keeue starter for place. The card was a fairly interesting one. Imt cold rain that fell Intermittently all afternoon made the Koing slow and dam|ieiied the ardor of the crowd that made the trip to the track. Considering the •weather conditions tie- attendance was good, there being fully d.ooo on hand. The Inclement conditions resulted in numerous scratches, tlie handicap licing reduced to two start-. ers. Wise Mason and Wander. In the running it was Wise Mason all the way. 1uit he was a tired horse at the finish and had Wander MCB even a fairlv goiMl one the result would have lx-en reversed.
