59SO net and fea ¬ turing the initial days racing Her victory was attained only after one of the most strenuous endeavors that she has displayed during her racing career and it was aided considerably by the masterly ride she re ¬ ceived from Mack Garner In close order following her came Parader and Minto II a pair that had fought stubbornly throughout the last quarter and at one time seemingly were the sole contenders for the main por ¬ tion of the rich prize Lady Madcaps entry into strong contention came in the last eighth when under skillful riding she moved up steadily out of the bunch and finishing in game style decreased the leaders margin surely surelyIn In the last sixteenth she was on even terms with Parader and Minto II but from there on she was mistress for she held to her task gallantly and getting her head in front twenty yards from the finish it was no longer a question of her success successBATTLE BATTLE ALL THE WAY WAYParader Parader and Minto II never ceased their struggle and the lighter weighted Parader secured second place in the final stride Rouleau headed the other starters with Firebrand the outstanding favorite just managing to beat Marjoric Hynes home

him today the dash that characterized his last previous essay when he took the lead at once and led his oppo ¬ nents for the entire race He had to travel wide this afternoon and this cost him some ground but he was never really dangerous dangerousAn An immense attendance far in excess of what was expected considering this years introduction of racing here occurring on a Tuesday witnessed

afternoons winners and landing second in another dash with Jouett In all cases he scored his success by virtue of his tactics in staying close to the inner rail and it was responsible for the saving
