The players 1 had a good line on the majority of the starters and the different winners were well supported. Weather conditions wore all that could be desired and a crowd of remarkable proportions for. a Friday was on hand to witness the decision of the card. The followers of form got a good start when Harry Payne Whitneys Prudish accounted for the opening dash of the afternoon.
