Terrible Dan got into trouble early and failed to ex-trieate himself in lime to secure a portiou of the purse. Jockey Glass followed up his inaugural success with an unexpected victory on Oracle, but in contrast to his good handling of Kaiser, he almost lost the laurels on Oracle to imis Kata through ov confidence. Louis Katz was going fastest at the end and would have won in a few strides. Tho showing of Doncaster in the race was decidedly disappoint ing. Kctmnu - favorite in Iho third race, was much the best of the starters, but his backers spent sev-e.al anxious moments after his victory because of jockey McCaheys action in having caused a bad mixup soon after the start. Some were inclined to think that the tadgra would disqualify the wtaner, but they allowed the result to stand and dismissed the matter with a sharp reprimand to the offending Jockey.
