Anticipation and Gipsori were the early trailers and the former lasted it out for the place. Rosa Yeta came from the rear in time to be an easy third from Protocol. Ruban Rouge, Demijohn and Juno were always outrun. LUCKY RACE FOR JTOAn. The start and Andersons incompetent finish decided the last race, a three-year-old race at five and a half furlongs. McAtee had Noah ready Avhen the start came and quickly rushed him into a five lengths lead. Martha .Martin, as usual, Avas slow to get under Avay. Noah led around the turn by several lengths, but Callahan sent Etoile dOr after him at this point and as they straightened out for home Noah Avas plainly in danger. Martha Martin, going fast and a . sixteenth out, seemed to have a royal chance to run Noah down, but Andersons finish Avas Avoefully Aveak and Noah Avon by half a length, ridden out to the last ounce. Zero Hour had to be much the best to win the opener, a claiming purse for tAVo-yea-olds at fiAe and a half furlongs.
