William Garth sent the winner to the post in J. S. Cosdena good tilly I.ady Baltimore and she w is good enough to set ;ill the pace and win with plenty to spare. In fact the only one to give it a semblance of contest was W. It. Coes Many Smiles, and she was beaten a couple of lengths. No time was lost at the barrier. I.ady Baltimore and Many Smiles quickly leaving the others. They sprinted along closely lapped almost to the turn out of the backstreteh, where Lady Baltimore shook off the Cos tilly and from there to the finish Lang only had to sit still to hold the front position. Sande had My Reverie under restraint through the early running, but when he called on her at the head of the stretch she could not respond and it was Nancy Shanks, from the Oakridge Stable, that easily heat her for third. The only other starter was Crossless, bearing the silks of Walter J. Salmon. It was another good day for the sport and there was a tremendous crowd on hand. Dominique, from the Bancocaa Stable, was the winner of the six and a half furlongs of the Chuctanunda Handicap, finishing ahead of the Mart-one Stables Whisk. Walter M. Jeffords Routledfe and some other fast ones. The son of Peter Quince and Bell J Maid had been entered to be sold for ,000 and when David Gideon was through bidding he had bought him for ,500. WHISK ONLY ItKAL ONTF.NDKR. 0 Whisk made the race a thoroughly good contest, though it seemed at the end that Sande could have won by a wider margin with Dominique. The sfarrone sprinter waa the Only one to offer real argument and he went right along with Dominique, the one to make the pace, and at the end Dominique was winner by a length. Six lengths back of the first two Routledge saved third and back of him came Arrow of Cold, Teddy 11. and Raleo. Arrow of Gold Was badly blocked in the stretch run or she might have beaten Boutledge for third place. George W. Lofts Halo, a four-year-old that failed when tried through the steeplechase field, was winner of the mile for cheap platers that was the fifth offering. At the end he easily took the measure of H. D Kittens Beckna and K. . Steirners Kirtle was the one to race third Marie Maxim was the one to set the pace in this race and she raced Camoufleur into defeat before the stretch was reached, but in the meantime she was used up considerably herself. Then on the stretch turn Sande saved ground with Haiti and in the last eighth he came away. Beckna made a real bid an eighth from the finish", but the Loti plater had plenty left to withstand his rush. Kirtle. to finish third, had to close a big gap and he came in most determined fashion in the last eighth. LADY INEZ IN TRIIMIH. Two-year-olds of the selling plater variety were brought together in the opening five-eighths dash, and the winner turned up in .1. A. Coburns Lady Inez. J. Browns Peter Brown finished second, while third was the portion of Recommendation, from the Nevada Stock Farm Stable. Lady Inez left the post fast and she was close to the pacemaker all the way, outlin-ishing Peter Brown largely because the son of Star McCee bore out badly from the elbow of the course to the finish. He had started from the inside position and Lady Inez was lucky to escape being carried out as he bore to the outside. Grenadier, the big son of Fair Play and Mission, which races for the Quincy Stable, was winner of the steeplechase from Joseph E. Davis Qtiecreek. while R. Knoxs Vox Populi II. finished third. Two of the horses did not finish when Cavendish fell at the last fence and Samuel Ross Highland Lad went so lame that he may not be seen at the races again. Highland Lad, before his legs gave way, closely followed the pacemaker Cavendish, with Vox Populi II. also in close pursuit. Crawford rated Quecreek along, hot did not permit him to drop far out of it, white Grenadier was right up with the leaders, Continued on twelfth page. | I FILLIES* DAY AT AQUEDUCT Continued from first page. after he had run into a pocket groing to the second fence that threatened to put him out of the contest. Through the bnick field Highland Lad was dropping back when ;renadier went up to Cavendish and Vox Populi II., and at the same time Crawford moved up on the outside with Quecreek. Then at the ninth fence Vox Jopuli II. made a stumbling landing that almost unseated McNair and it cost him some ground. Swinging into the front field Cavendish was showing signs of tiring, and Grenadier and Vox Iopuli II. were racing closely topped on the inside, and there was some bumping, for which they were both to blame. Crawford had swung a bit wide with Quecreek. and he was sending the little fellow along at his best pace, llight to the last fence the three were fighting it out when Crenadier am* first over, and from there to the end he readily outstayed Quecreek when the little fencer tired under the hard drive.
