The handicap at a mile and twenty yards brought out the best field of the day and was won by Shannon, which had been rated nothing but a sprinter. In this race the iierformance of Jupiter Joe was so far below his recent race when he was just beaten by Prince Gal. that W. G. Yanke. his owner, was called into the stand to offer an explanation. In defense he said the horse had a bad mouth, and that that probably accounted for his showing. Before the first race J. R. Wainwright re-purchased Royal Captive from J. R. Marquette, Jr., who took her out of a recent selling race. Watch Me. entered in the same race by John E. Madden was scratched, and sold to W. O. Joptia.
