ERIE MEETING TERMINATES BRIE. Fa.. June 21.— II. T. Palmers Don Dodge proved best of the small but select band which made up the fifth and feature race on the concluding day at Exposition Park this afternoon. He led Sentimental home by a safe margin, while La Kross finished in third place. Railbird and Marion Hollins won by comfortable margins, but the remaining winners scored only after keen struggles. On a protest lodged by Mrs. J. Reed, owner of Little Niece, O. Wendd was deprived oi the second portion of the purse won by Grandee in the first race.

Cameron, owner of Purdey, was today withdrawn by Judge Murphy, and he has been denied admission to the grounds. Clara James pulled up lame after the running of the second nice today.
