A poor card was a. contributing cause, most of the starters being of the cheaper grade and inviting little or no speculation. Favorites, with the exception of Doncaster in the opener, met with defeat. Viley, in tho fourth, ami Chemulpo, in the fifth race, were tho principal surprises. Vileys victory was lluky and was due -In the main to incompetent handling that Gould gave Rose of Jcddah, the favorite.

Chemulpo probably would not have won but for County Tax having been stricken with a hemorrhage just when his victory appesircd assured. Withdrawals reduced the field to four sturters in the closing dash and all were confidently backed. Hazel Burke turned up as tho winner over the unlucky Falcada, which lost mainly through Interference that he encountered during the running.
