Cold and disagreeable weather again held down the attendance to small proportions today and marred the sport. There were no outstanding features, the racing being, ordinarv and routine. Lord Wells and Shawnee were lirst choices to score. Shawnee was bid up to, 500, an advance of 250 over the entered price and became the property of C. N. Freeman. In the closing race, the rapidly receding price on Tom Shaw caused the judges to caution jockev Peak and his action in easing his mount near the finish because of threatened interference from Lovu Watches brought about his iudefikite suspension. Alio Gooding, the medium of sharp backing, showed a decided improvement over his last essay when ridden by Bergen.
