John P. Grier rilled favorite over Cirrus and, leading all the way, won under restraint after a shaking up an eighth out. The two were close together for the entire way, with John P. Grier slightly in the lead. They came into the stretch like a team, but Cirrus began laboring when near home. Le Glorieux, an odds-on choice, took the third race, a dash of a mile for platers. Burgoyne made the pace, closely attended by Mose. The former retired when an eighth out, where Le Glorieux, which had been under restraint, took the lead and won without trouble. Mose held on gamely and retained second place, with Tan II. third. Paddy Dear, about which there was some activity, was never dangerous. Ting-a-Ling wheeled as the barrier went up and was left at the post. The steeplechase proved easy for the Greentree stables Flare, with Rupica second and Frank B. third. Sweepment, which was leading to near the last jnmp, fell at that obstacle. His rider, W. Blake, escaped with a slight shaking up. Bupica was in the- lead when coming over the last .
