An ordinary card furnished keen sport at Moncrief Park this after-noon. Results exceeded expectations by far. all of the races being marked by stirring finishes.

In the second race Al Weston uncovered a sleeper in Abound, a colt that It. T. "Wilson sent south last fall. Abound had never been to the post before today, but despite this he was well backed ii the strength of fast work in private. Goldstein had the mount and, trailing the speedy Special Brew until well into the homestretch, he got up to win by a neck in a driving finish. Abound is a good-looking colt and probably will develop into a useful plater. The feature race, -a mile handicap, found Princelike and Third Kail fighting it out through the stretch. At the finish It happened to be Prin eel ikes nod and he won by a nose. In the next stride pa-st the winning mark Third Hails nose was in front. It was a very tight lit and the winner remained in doubt until the official -placing was displayed.
