The Foreigner was a heavily backed second choire and Moonevs a -lion virtually eliminated him. for it forced him far bark Wida was flagrantly guilty during the -tretch drive when he deliberately took White star from the inner rail to subject Cur Ip to inter Iereiice when the diminutive McDermott. who rode the Marshall representative, was making a threatening try for the bad. White Star at Hie time was beaten and in coming out from the rail towards Cut Ip the Clark clt also subjected Master lack to interference. The latter recovered fas!, however, and Won from Cut Up, with Willow T,ee in third place and The Foreigner following closely. The seemingly inferior ride that Thurher gave Lewis A., a strongly backed favorite, occasioned comment after the horse had succumbed by a neck lo laauiiy. The latter was the fir-t pane earner of the meeting fur the Walderk-Keein Fletcher combination and she had to exert herself to the iitm ,st to get home in advance of I.ouj- A. The latter in the early part of the race was a distant follower, bat when called on sinuiglv moved up swiftly and was going fastest at the end. Another instance of rough riding came in the sixth race, won by Balder, the first purse that this horse has landed at this meeting. The one that suffered badly from the roughing in this instance was Gray Gables, which was nearly thrown. The dozen two-year-olds that started the after- noons racing were regarded as numbering some of the best in these parts and Included Tom liar- Jr. Any rhanee he migbl have had was ruined as a result of his being forced to race extremely wide from an outer position.
