He was the most heavily suported horse of the present meeting, being backed .teadily from 5 to 1 until even money was all that could be obtained against his chances at post time. The reducing of his odds was not done witli one rub of the chalk, but took place by degrees. He broke well in his stride and raced Royal Dolly into submission before three-eighths of the journey had been ompleted. Captain Burns, a good three-year-old that had shown up well in his previous two starts, was giving away weight to the older horses and the task was too great.
