FEATURELESS DORVAL CARD Assumption Defeats Panaman in Main Race Favorites Prove Elusive. MONTREAL. Que.. Aug. 29. The card offered for the off-day at Dorval this afternoon was practically devoid of a feature attraction, the closest resemblance being a dash three-mile, which brought together some fair sprinters. The winner turned up in Assumption, the son of Jack Atkin getting up in the closing strides to defeat Pauaiuan with Golden Chance third. Hoganowski. who was astride Panaman. got his mount off in front and set a fast pace all the way. but after racing Sedegrass into defeat, came a trifle wide at the stretch turn and Thurber came through witli the winner. Threatening weather conditions prevailed, bur a large Monday crowd was on hand to witness the afternoons eiitertainmnt. Spirited racing prevailed and the majority of the winners had to be hard ridden to secure the verdict. The opening dash of the afternoon fashioned for Canadian-bred maiden two-year-olds, at five-eighths of a mile, served as a medium for Kelleys Queen to graduate from the non winners ranks. Hidden by McTaggart. she drew out in front and held her opponent safe at the end to win by a short margin. Puff Ball ran extremely green and bore to the outside rail, thence back to the inner rail, which cost him the verdict. The talent were at sea and failed to center on winners witli any degree of accuracy. The longest priced winner of the day was Hock Silk, which paid better than thirty to one. Crown of Gold was another long priced winner that was returned witli the running of. the fifth race, but was ridden out at tiie end to sustain a slight advantage over Zoie and Hinkavous. Hand-full was an odds-on choice, but performed in a dull manner. G. B. Elliotts good jumper Bencher1 has been placed on the shelf for the remainder of the season.
