Uasli was the only winner that had lirst call In the betting and his escape from defeat was bv the narrowest oi margins. The bis fields that furnished the contests in Mime degree accounted for the frequent upsets. Particularly was tins the case in the shorter dasncs, where interference was inevitable. In the handicap at one inlle and seventy yards that featured the can, Swannanoa absorbed more betting attention than all the others combined, hut she proved :i huge disappointment and failed to get any part of the purse. Cousin Puss scored in sensational style after appearing to be hopelessly binton. .Morristown took second money and Prince llennis was third. Martin kept Swannanoa under hard restraint behind Prince llennis, the leader, until three furlongs from the finish. Then he called on her. but instead of responding as expected, she dropped back Ihoroughbly beaten. Any Port, though finishing in the rear, shotted a good performance in the race and was worked out to the mile and a half in 2:33;-,, as a preliminary to his start la the Latonia Cup on Saturday next. Tin? mile race that followed the handicap resulted in n lucky win for Clint, with Flying Tom and Flex accounting for the minor portions of the purse. This trio had the race practically to themselves for the entire trip, as most of the othes were involved in jams and suffered extensively from interference. With a clear course. Cream and John Furlong probably would have fought it out for first money.

Sloan, owner of Stella Graine. bid the winner up to 1913.sh00, an advance f of 00, and had the filly knocked down to him.

The stewards, of course, would not give their consent to this, and warned him that he would have to pay for the filly within the specified time or the rules would be applied to his case. He adjusted the matter satisfactorily with owner Guthrie, and the latter retains the lilly. Constant broke from the maiden class in the second race and incidentally furnished an upset when she got home before San Vega and King Worth. The latter was well meant this afternoon, but was not good enough. Uncle Hart, owned by Koss and Looney, showed the way for the entire distance in the third race and bad a good margin over Crisco and Chilton King at the finish.
