Dr. Clark finished second and j Ginger third, with Firebrand close up. Dr. Clark, j despite giving weight concession to the others and being entrusted to the riding care of Fields, was 1 made tie favorite and attracted most of the betting support. Marjorie Hynes recent performance 1 has been such that she could not be overlooked and the general public was her main supporter. Her victory as a result was a popular one. She was kept in restraint, although a close follower of Ginger, "which showed fine speed for three-quarters, but Marjorie Hynes displaced him when called on and. in the stretch held sway to win easily. Fields managed Dr. Clark badly and raced him into several -pockets when going down the backstretch. lie was finally forced to come wide on the stretch turn, but, finished swiftly. :T; C. McDowells fast filly Distinction again figured in a winning performance this afternoon and accounted for the six and a half furlong dash, the first at this: distance in years, and, by running-it in 1:17. she reduced the former track record more than two full seconds, the previous best time having been made by Tat Dunnes Toah, which covered the same distance in 1:13 in 1002. Distinction displayed a high order of speed throughout, though Howard held her in restraint. She covered the first half mile of the straightaway in better than 4G seconds, the three-quarters under 1:12 and continued her high flight through the concluding sixteenth. American Ace was closest in pursuit and held the others safe for second place. Planet showed a fine performance, maintained a forward position all the way and finished third. Miss Muffins disappointed extensively when she failed to leave the barrier with the others at the; start. She propped badly after the release of the webbing. Perfect weather and track conditions again were here for the sport and it resulted in the full strength of racing enthusiasts being on hand to view the racing. The card promised well and several of the dashes produced stubbornly fought and close finishes. ALEX JR. BY A NOSE. The mile, and a half dash resulted in a particularly . close decision. Alex Jr., the extreme outsider, won , by, a nose from Lady Longfellow, with Exhorter the same margin back, Scobies superior riding skill determining, the result. He could have won on any of the placed three, particularly on Lady Longfellow, which really ran as if much the best. The change in riders from Pool to Burke on Black . Betty worked improvement in her running and she .jtpset plans for a coup intended with Evening Stories. The latter showed fine speed until reaching the last eighth, where she suddenly tired and I this forced her to a hard drive to retain second I place from the fast-gaining Who Can Tell. The initial race, contested by fourteen ordinary , ones, proved tmay for Honor Man. which raced into , a good lead in the last eighth after indulging Belle , of Klizabcthtown with the lead. The erratic Miss Crestwood furnished an upset in the sixth race, which he won easily from the newcomer Flycast, Bed Wingfield finishing third. Miss Crestwood was so lightly held that she was grouped with five others in the field. The fact that so mail- were grouped occasioned backing for them. Bright Trash was the favored one here, with Marimba also sharing attention, but neither figured, in the result. The concluding dash went to Marine Corps, which only in his last start graduated from the maiden ranks and had hard work in beating a band of oxi-treraely ordinary ones. He held sway throughout and won with ease, Miss Fontaine outstaying the others for second place, with British Maid just getting up in time to snatch third money from the favorite. Cut Up.
