Aspirin won the mile feature race, in which he lKat the good three-year-old, White Wool, by a couple of lengths. The latter was an odds-on favorite and was heavily supported, but was driving to the utmost to beat Leamence a neck for second place. The two-year-old race went to Arany, which beat Grif by a length and a half. The latter probably would have won had he escaped interference on the homestretch, where he was sharply cut off and knocked back.
