The Arverno Handicap, at three-quarters of a mile, todays feature at Aqueduct and worth ,!75 to the winner, brought out a good field of speedy horses. The result was a surprise, however, when S. C. Hil-dreths Lord Brighton, practically neglected by the oral simulators, showed a game performance to beat Enfilade in the last few strides. The latter dashed into an early loni; lead and looked like a winner an eighth out, but Lord Brighton, closing with great speed and courage, outlasted the filly in a hard drive. Ilollister was third.

The favorite quit in the stretch, while Arnold gamely resisted the belated challenge of Tenons Bon and earned the decision by a small margin. A long shot in Litholick beat the favorite, P. G. King, by a neck in the fifth, and Mad Hatter scored in runaway fashion in the final race, making it a double for the Ilildreth stable.
