have had of winning went a glimmering be fore the start when Hodge got the better of his rider and ran a quarter at ton speed He followed this later with a runaway of a furlong after he had dragged an assistant starter for a considerable dis tance groilndWhile and thrown him to the groilnd While riding Swannanoa in the fifth race Martin refused to take a slight chance in going to the first turn Had lie remained in his position in stead of taking his mount back lie might have dis posed of Gay Bird in the early stages but the early lost ground coupled with weak handling he gave the Cowdin mare in the stretch caused her to finish unplaced Gay Bird won handily with Mor ristown and El Palomar second and third The Thelatter latter improvementIn showed much improvement In the closing dash Martin
