Loftus had the mount, got in the hist strides to heat Tragedy for second place. There s were seventeen starters in the race, Pleasant " Dreams and Fantain Bala having been withdrawn, f while T. C. McDowell at the last minute decided to s add America. The hitters showing in her last start was not all to the liking of Mr. McDowell, so lie :l decided on another trial for her. The big field was 1 dispatched in fairly good alignment. Yankee Witch and Tragedy soon singled out from the others and I they dominated the running almost throughout, with 1 the winner drawing away in the last sixteenth. I! There was plenty of action behind the placed trio, I hut the unwieldy field did not allow of a true I performance on the part of many, for the inevitable I crowding that came on the turns spoiled the chances I of several. Yermila, which was regarded with much favor by trainer J. 0. Keene. was an especial 1 sufferer. Mr. McDowells pair hail scant oppor- 1 tunity to display their best form.
