Ben Lomond, the favorite, was bumped and fell shortly after the start, jockey Van Benschoten. who had the mount, was badly shaken up. but escaped serious injury. Gauntlet was a short-priced favorite that failed. On liis recent defeat of Novelty he seemed much the liest of the hold, but after forcing the pace he was no match for Mr. Golightly through the stretch. The performance of Mr. Golightly was in startling contrast to his race of yesterday, when with Fair-brother up. he had no speed. G. Archibald was his pilot today. In the three-quarter mile handicap. Campeon was a handy winner over Nimbus and Dantield. Rose Queen made the pace to the stretch and then collapsed utterly.
