Whose horses have been showing particularly good form at Laurel, added the Columbus Handicap to his successes of the present meeting when his fast sprinter A. X. Akin tool; Leochares into camp this afternoon. The race was a dash of three-quarters, and brought a speedy field to the post. Leoehares. top weight at 132 pounds, was heavily bached anil went to the post an odds-on favorite. He was the. best horse and would have won but for a poorly judged ride by Ilaynes. Looch:ire:i appeared to be in splendid condition while going to the post and, when the start came, he left the barrier with the leaders. In some manner he got into a tangle that marked the start and, when the field finally got straightened out, he was last. At the head of the stretch his chances of being placed seemed slim, but in the final eighth he closed up witli a great burst of speed and pasnnd all but A. Is. Akin, which won by a length and a half. Ilaynes wa3 also unfortunate in the fifth race in which he had the mount on Xylon. He left, the post behind the others, then got cut off when rounding the turn into the backstretch. In the last half Xylon gained steadily and at the finish was going fastest of all. Holiday won the race, coming from behind and beating Trial by Jury by a half length. It. L.

He boosted Kilts 00 over her entered price after she Avon the first race, then secured the jumper March Court after he won the second race. The latter cost him 00, an advance of 00 over his entered price. Jockey Allen was shaken up a bit as a result of his fall when Cynosure went down at the fifth fence in the steeplechase.
